[Lord Snooty]

Can I just ask as a outsider looking in that in the 2nd half with the attacking players we brought on why did you defend so narrow
The attacking players we brought on were wingers and the way you played left loads of room for us to play in and get round the back,
So much so our fullback equalised with a header,
Is that the way you normally defend ??

No. We gave you tons of space out wide. This is not usually the case. We usually get exposed down the wings because our wing backs are slow to get back. Today we changed and didn't play wing backs but had our main goal threat, Grant playing an unfamiliar defensive role on the left and similarly Kachunga, another attacker in the right. Flo hardly got forward today but still we were exposed down his side.

Mind, it didn't help matters when Kongolo went off injured. Thought Jaden did alright but the other two subs, Mounie for Campbell and Diakhaby for young Lewis, was like going down to nine men. Very reminiscent of last season's defeat at West Ham.
