We are too lacking in flair and innovation NOT to start with Latas.
The issue of whether Latas should start is very tricky I think. He is our best player when it comes to maintaining composure while we are in possession and nobody else on the team has his ability to make incisive passes. The flip side of the coin is that he is not going to be of much help when it comes to winning the ball back. Having him and Yorke playing simultaneously in the midfield creates a great workload for the other players esp Birchall and Whitley.
For real...
This is my side

MADMAN---------------DOG------------GIRAFFE-----------BLADE
-----------------LASER---------------------------GANGSTER

At half time, if we need creativity (meaning we behind, I think Beenie go take a draw in this game if he get it)
----------------------HEART ATTACK JACK-------------------
MADMAN-----------DOG---------------GIRAFFE-------------BLADE
----------------------LASER--------------GANGSTA------------
PRETTY BOY-----------------LATAS-----------------------PLAYBOY
--------------------STERN-------------------NATTY/HUSTLER-----------------
If we even and we not getting shot at like sitting ducks, save LATAS for a little bit
--------------------------HEART ATTACK JACK------------------------
MADMAN---------------DOG------------GIRAFFE-----------BLADE
------------------------------------GANGSTER--------------------------
PRETTY BOY-----------LASER------------PLAYBOY----------------NATTY
--------------------------------------STERN--------------------------
If we behind and we desperately need a equaliser when we bring on LATAS do this (we doh want to lose, but i think beenie prefer to lose this game by one goal than by 3)
--------------------------HEART ATTACK JACK------------------------
MADMAN---------------DOG------------GIRAFFE-----------BLADE
----------------------LASER-----------------------GANGSTER----------
PRETTY BOY---------------------LATAS----------------------WISEMAN
--------------------STERN--------------------------PLAYBOY-------------
If we leading and looking comfortable BENCH STERN....and save Latas for if any trouble happen
