we simply cant play 4-5-1 end of story.
We can't play anything else. A squad with only 2 strikers (no, I don't count Campbell) can't play both of them in every game. Even if they both miraculously avoided injury all season long, they'd be knackered. But there's no scope for partnership between the two, neither will create for the other, so it's a complete waste of a player to start both. One or other - Bent for me.
And we don't have a 2-man central mdifield combo that can win midfield battles and create chances either, so 4-5-1 is win-win. It allows us to play our three best central midfielders, Zokora, Jenas and Modric, and all of them can play to their strengths. All you need after that is support for the striker from the wingers - so that means a combination of Bentley on the left, Giovanni on the right, or Lennon on either.
