I wouldn't be a fan of that. I prefer players to be in their proper positions where possible.....that said he plays more like a midfielder than a back most the time so he'd probably do a job.
What about this team today?:
Kuszczak
Calderon~Greer~Upson~Ward
Ince~Andrews
March~Lingard~Lualua
Ulloa
Subs: Brezovan, Bruno, Dunk, Mackail-Smith, Orlandi, Spanish Dave, Buckley (if only a bit injured).
