SIR LESLIE FERDINAND!!
-
I just don't think we've got the time for our players to get used to it. The fact that they looked so out of their depth v Spuds was enough for me - don't forget we played this formation every single game pre-season. We look better with a back four. The main issue is that Isla was bought primarily as a wing-back and doesn't look so good as a full back. And then there's the strange resistance Harry has to giving Yun a chance at LB. The fact is we're starting to fire, albeit intermittently, and changing back to 5-3-2 ain't the answer IMHO.

Apart from the wayward pass last game Rio has been very good in the build up play, and that is why he is here. Problem is he has been too slow in his reactions defensively so far this season. We should go back to the 352 system and play Hill left side. It is the only way forward. I am not sure how Nedum fits in to the equation. Personally I think he is pretty bad on the ball and also has a few defensive howlers every game, so I would keep him on the bench...

I just think Rio has to play in a 3....

We've NEVER looked good playing 352. It's a good formation for getting the most out of poor players, but everyone needs to know their role, which in turn requires organisation and half decent management/preparation - that's never happening under Arry. No point trying to force it.
I'd be happy to see Ned RB & Isla RM though. Tell Ned to stay back and hold Rio's hand and let Traore bomb forward on the left.
I feel sorry for Ferdinand; he's well past it but our clueless board/manager/fans hyped him up as the solution to all of our defensive problems, which you can't expect from a 36 year old.
