Why is it that we play the same formation over and over again. We have no variation and teams can easily adapt to our tactics and counter them. We don't have great wingers, our only good target striker is out, yet we still insist on the 4-3-3. Whatever the hell Grant was trying to do with Pizarro last game, I hope he never tries it again. Playing him deep was pretty stupid. As for Joe Cole, I say we drop him to the bench. For one, he's completely useless as a winger. He can't cross and he's prone to dribble around pointlessly and lose possession. If we were to put him in the centre, he will probably cramp up Ballack's space and misuse possession to make himself look like a shitty version of Cristiano Ronaldo. I'd prefer it if Ballack dictated the play rather than Joe Cole. I think Sinclair should be given a run in the first team.
