When Zlatan and Trezeguet are up top we seem to play more long balls anyway despite having Vieira on the pitch. If we were to play a trident in attack or use a forward such as Del Piero we would not resort to long balls as quickly due to the fact that our forwards would be checking back into midfield to pick up the ball...Alex and Mutu obviously do with well. Without those two players we seemingly have the tendency to play the ball forward more, and that is not exactly a good thing...some defenses can eat those balls right up. This is why I prefer to give Mutu a little more freedom in attack or perhaps field Del Piero, if possible.
That said, when Vieira is on the pitch he adds so much class to our midfield...without him we look sorry to be honest.
