The formation was wrong and we go away with it

Staggeringly naive to give them that much space to play in. So long as we keep playing this s**te 4-4-2 formation with this squad we will be too open through the middle as we were yesterday until we went to Wagners Plan B which is to basically put everyone behind the ball, sit off them and abandon any pretence of attacking. He needed to take one of the strikers off about half an hour before he did. Idah in particular was doing nothing at all second half.

Admittedly we held them at arms length for a lot of the second half and the defence defended well. Ultimately our good players being up for it and putting a shift in was enough to get a draw but this team is capable of so much more under s better coach.
