Thanks @vital. Like you, I was surprised by the team selection and, later, the subs. Though he wasn't flawless, I thought Paris offered the only real threat while he was on. Similarly, taking Sam off while putting Eze on seemed a zero sum move - we desperately needed more creativity to avoid hoofing the ball toward Bayo. There was a disjointed aspect to today's performance that I haven't seen this season and which I hope is down to the wind and injuries that will have healed by next week.

We should try playing 4-3-3, could work quite nicely if the ref doesn't notice!
I reckon even a 4-4-4 wouldn't have done the trick yesterday
