Maybe not the most secure and cohesive we've looked this season, but I actually found it quite fun to watch. Could have done with Haynes at LWB rather than Ricketts though. And the WBs were too high up the pitch, which left no room for them to run into.

The wing backs were very high, it neutralized theirs. It worked well

Was anyone else bored to tears until rose scored?

Phillips and ricketts only.like to pass backwards so it could be improved with competent wingbacks

I just thought we lacked movement in general and fleck and cole were so deep in the 1st half they couldnt influence anything.

The 352 worked very well to nullify them getting forward and putting crosses in our box. I had hoped TM had a plan when I seen Maddison was playing as he left Phillips very exposed Saturday.
Top marks TM!

Not quite as I saw it. It meant they could never receive a pass in front of them as they were too close to the opposition full backs, and left a lot of space for their wide players - I'm thinking Kyel Reid in particular there. But hey ho, we won, so it obviously wasn't as terrible as I thought.

I thought the system (352)was poor and didn't work with the players we had playing, Armstrong was far too isolated, lamieres and maddison play too deep and done make runs in behind, that meant it was often 361, ricketts has no left foot and because of Reid's pace Phillips really didn't get much further forward than the halfway line. We were forced to have a lot of ball in our own half, Armstrong came deeper and deeper at times

It wasn't until the introduction if rose, a player who will look to make runs in behind armstong, that we scored from such a run, then gave their defense something different to think about.

Vincelot dropped back to right back, Stephens the left side

The way I saw it was 3 at the back (Vincelot, Martin, Stephens), 4 in 'midfield' (Phillips, Cole, Fleck, Ricketts) and 3 up top (Maddison and Lameiras slightly withdrawn from Armstrong).

When we had the ball first half it was 3-2-4-1, without 4 -3-2-1

And realistically, neither Phillips nor Ricketts is a wing back. For me, there were too many square pegs in round holes. Enjoyable game though.
