Sylla signs ....

[Durham Fox]

Midfield of Tiatto, Kisnorbo, Hughes and Sylla, then ?

Joey and Williams keeping the bench warm...

I dunno, i'd be surprised if Levein doesn't see williams as a regular. However if it is a choice between him and hughes, i think there will only ever be one outcome

I doubt he will play Tiatto and Kisnorbo and Sylla at the same time unless it is by substitutions or injuries. ;-) :mrgreen:

Why's that?

I preface my comments by saying that all players are playing in midfield. CL is on record as saying that he prefers to have one winger and to play the other flank much narrower. So all those times Tiatto drifited infield were intentional. Effectively it means a quasi holding role.

Now I cannot see Sylla playing as a winger and having both Kisnorbo and Tiatto from the start, usual caveats, indeed I think Williams and Hughes will start with either Tiatto or Kisnorbo.

Naturally the other possibility is that Tiatto fills in at left back.

Maybury.....???.........McCarthy.......Tiatto

Sylla..........Hughes......Williams.......Kisnorbo

............MDV...........Connolly.

If you swap hughes and kisnorbo around I think you could be right there. I also wouldn't rule out Jordan starting at left back instead of Tiatto.

I would have to wonder why we signed Wilcox for another year if we were going to play Tiatto left back. Especially if we are having a small squad.

One possbile explanation could be the Stewart/Burnley rumours.
