Recently there has been a lot criticism of poyet's apparent lack of plan b, strict adherence to one formation, refusal to play two wingers and reluctance to make a sub until the 75th minute. Some of it has been fair, some of it perhaps not. Does anyone at all want to credit him for trying something different by starting 352, then acknowledge it wasn't working, change the shape and make positive early substitutions to turn the game around? To finish with CMS, Barnes, Hoskins, Buckley & LuaLua all on the pitch at the same time was a bold move and a statement of intent that has been missing. I for one would rather he made those sort of changes and we lost games going for it, than let home 0-1s peter out until the last 10-15 minutes, and to see a winger come on for a centre back before half time was a surprise, but a refreshing one. Fair enough I say.
