THOUGHTS ON 3-5-2 During a Sky Sports News chinwag with Jim White, Redknapp revealed that he is intending to play three at the back, with Ferdinand and - if successfully snared - Caulker being partnered by one of Richard Dunne, Nedum Onuoha or Clint Hill. 3-5-2 is a formation that the Hoops boss is familiar with, having adopted it fairly regularly around the turn of the century at West Ham, and it has returned to fashion in the last year or so. The chief Premier League advocates have been Hull, who used it firstly to win promotion then to fire their way to safety and an FA Cup final in their first campaign back in the top flight, and Aston Villa, who turned over champions Man City on one of the occasions that they set up that way. It was even more prevalent at the World Cup, with some of the most impressive and overachieving sides in the tournament bonded by their love of deploying three centre backs: Mexico, Netherlands, Chile and Costa Rica. There is an expectation that more Premier League clubs will hop on the bandwagon as a result of events in Brazil Source ~ Betfair
