That would just make sense though. We aren't in the business of sense. It's the weird-wild-wacky-Kreis-world and we are all just living in it.There's another way of looking at that lineup. View it as a 4-1-4-1. Then you have this:
-------------------Mullins-------------------
Villa-------Pirlo-------Lampard-------Mix
---------------------AJ----------------------
Wingert---Facey---Hernandez----Allen
Just look at that midfield line.
I say this as someone who is not on the witch hunt to have Kreis fired.
