Comes to something when we need to start Snodgrass , but I can understand where your coming from , me I would put him in midfield with Rice and Wilshere and have Masuaku and Fredericks on the wings and use Cresswell and Zabaleta as the fullbacks no reason they shouldnt be able to overlap , yes a 5 man midfield . We just dont have the personnel to play the Pellegrini way .
Would prefer 3 at the back but cannot see him going for that .

We desperately need some pace on the flanks .
"We desperately need some pace on the flanks" and in the middle !!
And do what? I,d rather see Whilshire start with Rice and Noble.
If you want pace then why not see Holland play the left wing and Anderson the right.If you are going to give the lads a short run out for one game you are putting too much pressure on them to perform and they will focus more on not losing the ball over playing their natural game. Give Holland a run out. He has persevered with Fornals who hasn,t adapted yet.
If he doesn,t have a great game just pat him on the back and say yul get them next time lad. Give them confidence. Thats why Quina left for Watford although he hasn,t broke into that first team yet. Same with Cullen. I am not a Cullen fan but at least he will have the legs to work that midfield role.
but the man who makes the decisions didn't think or couldnt get what we wanted so lets hope it don't come and bite us on the arse ( its nibbling at the moment )
Once you take the devils shilling its no going back !!!!!!

Something I have thought was a priority and something I expected Pellegrini to sort in his first transfer window but didnt and still hasnt.
