I agree that Tainio should not lead the midfield attack, his inclusion was pretty much due to the unfortunate absense of the recently outstanding Lennon and resutled in Jenas being pushed out to the right flank and thus wasted...
I consider Tainio to be more in the Davids mould, defensive duties seem more suited to him. My ideal first 11 at this time would look like this...
..........Defoe.....Mido
................Jenas
......Carrick...........Lennon
................Davids
Lee.....King......Dawson......Stalteri
..................Robbo
Play this team every week and we'll soon get it together. Fantastic attacking Triangle with Lee and Stalteri available to get up the wings in support... Davids and Carrick and interchangable as are Lennon and Jenas making both 2 sets of players hard to mark... Job done...
