Shocking first half.
When will Tony realise that 4-4-2 does not work for us? He is doing what Hodgson used to do which is find a formation (4-1-4-1) that works ok for us and is better than the 4-4-2 but ditches it at the first chance he gets after a defeat and reverts back to the 4-4-2.
We have still yet to play 4-2-3-1 this season and I would like to see us use it sometime soon. I hope to see McManaman brought on for McLean at half time with him on the right, Berahino left and Sessegnon behind Rondon. Tony could even drop Berahino into a deeper position so he plays behind Rondon rather than alongside him.
The only change I can see Tony making at half time is switching McLean and Sessegnon around so they play as inverted wingers.
