Anderson up front wi' May for support ... who in turn is supported by Ferguson when we're movin forward. Ah mean .... ffs ... if yer gonna develop a young striker ... surely it's worthwhile havin him play alongside an experienced one.
Shinnie and Lowe combining on the left and McGinn and Logan combining on the right, whether on the attack or on the defence.

.... And if it disna work, then there's enough versatility already on the field to accommodate tactical substitutions ... and at least, the above startin line-up is likely tae be effective defensively, and so it's well worth the gamble in shakin' up the AM and striker formation ... at least for 45 mins.... but ... easy options to change shape?
