The line up and substitutions

Was gonna start a thread about his subs. He continually gets it spot on.

I'm as tactically astute as a log but I thought early in the second half I seen Barry pushed into the back line too.

Yeah I thought it almost looked like we went 3 at the back today but tbh I always think we do depending what stage of play the game is at. Barry is excellent at knowing when to fill in and plug any little gaps that may occur.

We did go 3 at the back. Distin and Stones were moved much further apart and wider in the second half, Coleman and Baines went further ahead still, and Barry or McCarthy filled in between Distin and Stones.

Need to play two wingers in front of our full backs - Osman can not sustain 90 minutes ideal sub and if RB is injured Naismith has to play just behind Lukaku v Arsenal as their fullbacks will push on like in the FA cup game!
