We weren’t worse because Schneiderlin went off the pitch. We were worse because he changed to a janky 424 formation and he decided to take off Bernard instead of Sigurdsson. That Delph Schneiderlin midfield was an abomination.
Wait so are you saying we should have subbed off Sigurdsson and Schneiderlin instead? What would the formation have been? 4-1-5?

You completely missed the point. People were saying Schneiderlin going off lost us control of the game. It didn’t.

And Bernard or Iwobi would have taken Sigurdsson’s position while Davies comes in for Schneiderlin. So no 4-1-5 Mr. Strawman

The Walcott for Coleman change was a headscratcher

I wasn't aware that under your plan Davies was coming in. Yeah putting Davies in for Schneiderlin would have been a sensible change potentially. But as it was the control of the game went away with the Schneiderlin for Tosun change.

It's been a long day and rereading it doesn't make it sound like 4-1-5. But for me taking off Schneiderlin did cause us to lose control not necessarily because Schneiderlin is irreplaceable but because he wasn't replaced.

Fair enough. Since we did bring in Tosun, it would have been wise to keep two central midfielders on the pitch (Siggy doesn’t count because he is not nearly as effective from deep). Schneiderlin could have stayed (or subbed for Davies) and we could have gone with a 442 formation and at least maintained some shape.

‘My point was simply that he did not maintain any shape. He just threw guys onto the field and everything became lopsided. If he wanted to bring in Tosun, Siggy really needed to go
