Hi there, occasional reader but thought I'd post as I actually made it to the game today!  It looked like Carlos got this one wrong with his initial set-up and we gave them a lot of space in midfield. I don't think the problem was the strikers, on another day we would have got a few goals. The defence was the problem, the first goal was very simple from a pretty average corner. Pudil got caught out of position a lot and skinned several times by ince, whilst him and palmer seemed to be incapable of putting a tackle in. And it easily could have been more from further set pieces. I reckon Carlos need to concerntrate on getting the team to defend as a unit. This will take some of the pressure of the strikers.
I'm not sure about the handball decision but we were definitely second best today.
