Look at our full back options, hill - no one really thinks he is good enough to start, traore - No one really thinks he is defensively sound enough to start at full back, Yun - Only player who can definitely play that role and harry wont play him, and on the right Isla - a specialist wing back. Basically at any time playing a 4atb, we would only really have two truly good defensive players, whereas with 3 at the back, we can play everyone we need in the right positions, Isla and traore are good enough in those positions, and we get all three of ned, caulker and ferdinand as well as a strong midfield 3 and we can play 2 strikers

Thats true and also backs up what Harry said about building a team around a 3.5.2. Like Ive said before if we play that fine, but we need to stick with it, so everyone is clear on where they and others play.

Personally Isla... Caulker... Ned... Yun. is a back 4 I'd love to see and could be a solid line up for the future. I know It means dropping Rio but at some point we're going to have to look to the future
