    Should be interesting for those with doubts about Powell's tactical prowess:

    "We'll be talking tactics with Chris Powell, John Collins and Jonathan Wilson on Monday night's show."

    Unfortunately being in located in Denmark means I won't get to see the show. Would be great if some lifers could summarise on this thread afterwards.

    Talking about how he prefers to play two up front...if possible.

    A big fan of 3-5-2 if he's got versaitle players at the back and good wing backs.

    Tuned in hoping to hear something interesting about the takeover and all I get is a game of backgammon.

    The bloke in the middle needs to be hired. Really knows his stuff.

    Ideal formation is a 4-4-2 than can switch to a 4-3-3.

    Likes playing a back four with high full-backs and overlapping wingers. Ideally he'd like three in midfield but also loves playing wingers.

    Has been forced to play Yann in the hole as a number 10 with a forward making runs ahead of him.

    Against Brighton he asked Yann and Church to alternate this role and drop into midfield and pressure Briductt and their midfield.

    I'm sure many managers would dream of going from 442 to 443........;-)

    David Jones. Although Minto does present La Liga.

    Impressive isn't he? If you're enjoying the discussion you might try Wilson's book, "Inverting the Pyramid". I found it a bit dry, but its a real tour de force of tactics through the ages and fascinating in parts.

    Powell comes across well I think as someone who knows what he is talking about. Would be interesting to see one or two of the loud mouth boo boys get into a discussion with him. I think I know who'd come out on top.

    The Guardian's football journalism is excellent.

    I'm pretty sure the fella in the middle wrote a book that Pep Guardiola read and raved about and implemented at Barca

    Geezer in the middle is pretty switched on, Powelly and Collins are kind of stating the obvious quite a bit
