3 CBs simply doesn't work, nor 2 up front. As boring as it is, we are best with 4-5-1.
Jelavic
Mirallas, Gibson, Osman, Barkley, Anichebe
Baines, Distin, Jags, Coleman
Howard
Possibly Naismith for either Barkley/Anichebe imo
Don't see how you can say 3 at the back doesn't work after one game, which we won. Any system takes time to implement properly.
