I'd like to see a near-to-proper 442 with Dobbie just behind CMS. That's where we'll see the best of him.

Even Capello played a modified 4-4-2.

This is more like a classic 4-3-3 though. I could see the Albion playing something like this. There does not seem to be much wrong with it although I don't actually like it. Dobbie has got the mobility to play the Gerrard role. But Vicente has ! (PS: I am not quite sure the diagram is quite right: there is a bloody great hole where Walcott should be)

Crouch = Macca
Roonie = Barnes
Gerrard = Vicente (or Orlandi or Dobbie)
Walcott = Buckley
Milner = Hammond, or Crofts
Carrick = Bridcutt

Not my choice though. Adn Roonie does not play like that for Man United.

If professional football's biggest waste of space, the wanker that is Dean Hammond, gets in our team tomorrow when we have so many other options available I don't think it will be possible to defend Poyet.

Spot on.
