Great result even if they have been poor this season. I think 4-2-3-1 is our best formation if we know we're the better team. I think it gets the best out of our players especially Lanzini when he's back. We need the 3 at the back and wing backs if we're playing the top clubs though.
I was unable to watch or listen to the match, so thanks all for the comments, and especially the links for the goals!
Seems like we put on a professional display and for once used our superiority against a lower side - this is really great to hear. Excellent for both confidence and also because it would be superb to have a good couple of cup runs this year. Really pleased Slav has got the boys working well again.
For formation, I was hoping for some semblance of a 4231 as I felt the 3421 didn't quite work us enough attacking options/chances last weekend. I think it's beneficial to be able to play different formations as different styles work against differing opponents. Going to be a tough choice for the Spurs game which formation to use!
Also very pleased to see my pre-match hopes come to fruition; Sakho, Byram, Masuaku, and Adrian get a whole game (and do well), Arnie to get some time after being out (and again putting in a good performance), Nobes (and Kouyate who I forgot about ;doh) play after recently being out injured, Chicharito to get some time up top down the middle, and excellently youths Hakisakafish, Holland, and Quina get some solid game time. Very, very chuffed ;ccole.
