I'm not either. It took me a while to work out what had changed. I did think that it brought out the best in Propper though. I actually thought he was poor in the first half, but done well second half. I'm not sure the Norwich players picked up on the formation quickly either. Having the capacity to change formation effectively during the game could turn out to be a massive advantage this season.Loved it..!!!
I’m not a great analyst but do have a lovely view from WSU of what’s going on. Another day we could easily have scored 3 or 4 in the last 30 minutes.
I’d like to see Solly given the chance that Greyhound got today - he’d rip it up too - but not everyone can get on to join the fun!

Trying to work out how as suggested we went to 4 at the back as I recall we had Dunk on the right Duffy down the middle and Burn on the left with Montoya staying as right wing back. I would have brought either March or Mooy on instead of Schellotto but that is just my thinking. I dont think that we went to a flat back four at any time.
Of course we did. Some people just can't get their head around a 6ft 6in left back or the fact that a right back who attacks is not a wing back. It is a very fluid system with players dropping in to cover depending on where the ball is and who has it but for the last few games, we have nearly exclusively had a back 4.We started 442 then went to 433. At least I thought we did.

Yep - it is very impressive how drilled the players are in covering based on various scenarios and you get see what Potter means when he says he encourages the players to figure it out themselves. It did look like we had gone 5 at the back for a while as Alzate dropped into a left wing back a couple of times but then reverted back into the midfield. You struggle to put a formation on the team at any given time other than looking at them at what VAR loves to call a reset of the defence.I’m not so sure 433 quite captures it. We’ve played a lopsided formation in a fair few games now. As to yesterday, although we nominally played four at the back, Montoya played wider on the right than Burn on the left while in the second half, Alzate stayed far closer to the left touchline, so that it could equally characterised as a back three or five. Yet Alzate was more advanced than Montoya. It did enable the delightful opportunity for Alzate and Trossard to link up together
The tactical flexibility of the team that finished that game is seriously, seriously impressive. We could have changed to 3 different formations without making a single substitute

Alzate - Stephens - Propper
Connolly - Maupay - Trossard

Edit: Okay that team didn’t technically finish the game but people know what I mean.
Only 1 problem you have omitted Gross which GP will not do, I dont think.
