Boyata looked composed early in the Spurs game and I fancy him to want to show what he can do before going home in the summer. Same with Miyaichi in showing what he can do before going home. Mavies needs a 4-5-1 formation to do what he does best and we need midfielders who pass and move and tackle, next to him - hence NRC and Vela. Petrov has a few more crosses left in the tank and needs to put them on display before the season (and his contract) ends. Big Kev is at best, an impact player now, not a starter. He gets to watch N'gog run at WBA (without getting pushed off the ball, you slight barsteward!) then if the need arises, we bring on Sordell (you hear me, Coyle?), switch to a 4-3-3 by pulling whichever midfielder sucks the most at this point so Mavies keeps his position (unless he is the one that sucks the most), and have a winger go forward along with the other two forwards then look at a KD/Klasnic late sub to potentially kill the game off.
Like your explanation. Ladies and gents this is how it should be done.
