I would like to see a return to the 4-5-1 to be honest with you. I know it is not exactly the mosty attacking formation but we were very good defensively when we played it and we always managed to nick a goal with Gerrard and co on the pitch.

The problem then lies with the sole striker role , which btw I think Crouch occupies perfectly, so what to do with Kuyt and Bellamy?

A 4-5-1 formation needs a strong, quick and a proven goalscorer as is based on counter attack. Using Crouch in that role is a recipe for disaster. We would loose most games.

crouch just scored 3 goals in 4-1 win over Arsenal
4-5-1 needs good fast wingers which we dont have.
