Redknapp: Houllier use of Young Villa masterstroke

Former Liverpool and Tottenham star Jamie Redknapp says Gerard Houllier has pulled off a "masterstroke" in his positioning of Aston Villa attacker Ashley Young.

He wrote in his column for the Daily Mail: "One player unfortunate to be on the losing team at Spurs was Ashley Young. He has a different role under Gerard Houllier, off the striker with licence to do damage.

"It suits his energy and quality.

"Out on the wing you need people to get the ball to you and it has been frustrating for Young. In his new position he is always involved. Looks a masterstroke by Houllier."
