Livermore at left back. That's just so Redknapp.

It is better to fail aiming high........
This could have legs, on one condition. BALE ON THE LEFT.
Before somebody tells me I've had a brain fart, I will say I haven't touched a drop and I'm not knee-jerking. Basically, here's how I would deploy the lads:
- Back four - standard instructions. Going forward, full backs are given the option to overlap. Especially Bale, for obvious reasons.
- Sandro - None shall pass! But... get involved with vdV/Modric.
- Midfield three - may need to sit a little deeper earlier when we don't have the ball, to form a four across the park alongside Sandro.
- Ade - track back.
- Defoe - won't listen anyway.
Might work...
Ever heard of a late fitness test? :bae:

start off as a LB ? If we dont wanna piss about with our recent formation its an option
Sadly, Bale at LB is probably the likely outcome. He's a poor defender but at least he's not going to get turned inside out the whole match.
If not Bale then Gallas is the clear choice seeing as he played quite a lot of games in that position at Chelsea in the 04/05 and 05/06 seasons. He also played a few games in that position for Woolwich.
Whatever happens, Bale is going to have to put in a hell of a lot more defensive shift than he usually does.
In a strange way, I'm just pleased that Rose isn't going to be on the pitch.

I think Bale will be fine, it's up to whoever is the left sided CB to ensure Bale holds his position. This season Kaboul has become a lot more vocal on the pitch and it comes naturally to Gallas.
This with bells on, can't see a future for him at LB...LLB Part Deux said:
Personally I think anything could happen, i'm not opposed to the idea of Adam Smith at LB, or Bale/Gio down the left. Just hope Modric is central because his creativity is completely marginalized when we play out wide. A narrow formation as mentioned above would be ideal, but we shall await with bated breath!
Wouldn't be surprised to see Livermore shoe-horned in there, though.
I genuinely can't see past Bale being put on the left, he'll be even harder to pick up from left-back so it could add another dimension to our attack.
Bale at LB is the most likely move for Redknapp. Anything else (Gallas/Nelsen/Livermore at LB) is much riskier. The bigger problem is how to replace Bale in the midfield without putting Modrić out wide, where he is much less effective.
Can we shorten Bale's left leg very slightly, so that when he runs, he automatically veers to the left? Just a thought.

I don't understand the idea of Kaboul playing right back. The guy has been our best centre back by a mile this season yet some want him shifted out to right back? :harryfacepalm:

I agree.
For that reason it'll be Bale LB, Modric LM and Parker and Sandro CM.
