I doubt that it will be bale, I think it would be a massive mistake but do we have any others? Would any others be able to do a job... Parker maybe, or Gallas?How about Andros Townsend? I know he played there a couple of times in the EL but is he still here?
I would like to have Corluka back now, it could really be a problem area next week especially vs the tricky wingers of fulham!!!
Who would play left back next week now?

I was wondering what was going on there?

Correct.
Three speedsters to look after eachother.
And Sandro and Livermore to protect them in front.
No final third flank tracking mandated for Niko (lucky him ) .

Gallas can play there, he did for us for the bulk of our back to back title wins

Walker at left back, Kaboul at right back with Gallas and King in the middle

RDBD, that team would get raped. Thank God you're not manager.

Bale has to play at left back, for the sake of the team. If he does not, then we know that his ego has definitely blown up, and that losing him to a big fee wouldn't be the end of the world.
Whilst I dont agree with this formation, Harry will bring back Parker and play this:
Friedel
Walker Gallas Kaboul Bale
Lennon Sandro Parker Modric
Van der Vaart
Adebayor.
He should play a midfield of:
Lennon Sandro Modric Kranjcar, with Bale overlapping.

Add........................................Nice to see you keep up with developments at the Club! Townsend is on loan at Birmingham and cannot be recalled for this game!
RDBD
I have just posted and like you I think a back 3 could be the way to go on Sunday.
However I have both Walker & Bale as wingbacks with Gallas King & Kaboul as the back 3.
Lennon, Sandro, Modric & Livermore
VDV & Ade up top with VDV dropping back when necessary.
Alternatively just move Gallas to left back and bring King back in for his final game!! I think he has one more great performance in him.

If Krancjar is fit, then he could possibly play instead of Livermore!

"RDBD, that team would get raped. Thank God you're not manager."
I will revisit this when we see the starting 11 that Redknapp actually puts out (HA !!! ) .

Interesting.
But pedestrian and likely to get in eachothers' way (the CB instinct is always to occupy the middle) .
