Remember his last minute volley against Chelsea? That was a great goal. Houllier left him on the bench next game (loved the way he used to do that), but we got an early injury and Vlad came on and scored straight away with a header. I was thinking 'this is it, Vlad's going to become one of our best players'. Then he go injured again. I always rated Vlad but it was difficult to see where he would fit into a rigid 442 formation. Maybe he would have been better in the 4231 we sometimes play now. He always worked well with Paddy. In fact we could have had Berger, Smicer and Rosicky as the three in a three-pronged Czech attack! i feel a formation thread coming on!
