I'm inclined to agree, re: 3-5-2.

But Sven will categorically not play that formation. He said so in as many words on Five Live last night. Says that in his opinion it's a formation that the players have to be used to playing, well practiced etc, and that they never train in that formation.

I don't really care. For me, whatever formation keeps Richardson away from the left-back position.

Oh, and Terry + Campbell, but Sven will go for Campbell + Ferdinand.
