Spurs (Away) Monday July 6th

[Sibdane]

Very disappointing. As I said earlier, this was a make or break game, and we broke. I can only hope that this summer we sign the players we need. Otherwise we'll keep floating at a true mid-table position.

Awful. Need 5 players for the first team

This says a lot of what I'm thinking.

Whilst that article is correct about the problems in midfiedl its wide of the mark in respect of formation. We didn't really see a 433 last night, it was a strange starting 11 in shape.

At 0.02 we defended deep into a 6 at the back with Iwobi and Davies widest, 2 central midfielders and 2 central attackers.

at 0.12 we were defending in a 442 with two central attackers, which by the time the goal is eventually scored we had 9 men in our own box (versus 4 Spurs).

at 0.58 we are in a very narrow 442 (Coleman ahead of the ball) and as we break you see Gomes and Davies fill in for Mina and Coleman staying in a 442 shape.

When you go into the second half the same thing happens but with different players.

The unusual thing about yesterdays set up was the interaction between Coleman and Davies. When attacking Coleman became the winger and Davies sat in as the right back. It makes sense because you wouldn't want Davies playing wide but why not play someone who can from the start? Had we attacked more down the other flank I am sure it would have been the same story.
