It was a three. Igor, Dunk and Webster until the introduction of Veltman.The back was a regular 4 imho, Webster the RB. A very imperfect one in a very imperfect arrangement, leaving Willian completely unmarked time after time, he created danger with Robinson.
Contrast to Ajax and Fulham who had a RB man marking Mitoma, bolted to his side. The way Veltman operates.

I thought RDZ got it wrong today. They pushed Willian and Reid up once we’d gone ahead, leaving us 3 vs 3 time and time again. Should have changed to a four earlier
For about 15 minutes in the 2nd half it seemed like we were only playing with nine.Think Groß had free reign, similar to Lallana.
Then 341?
He wasn’t marking Willian, Webster was. Gross was in the middle of the four alongside Lallana in the 3-2-4-1Anyone able to get a heatmap of Gross or average player locations …. Sofascore?
Gross was upfield in the main, I can’t recall him operating as a RWB marking Willian.
This, although I thought he was okay at LB in the flat back four.Igor definitely LCB in a three, and looked pretty decent there.
We finished the game (once Veltman came on) with Igor at LB in a flat back four - and he was a bit crap there.

Umm…I’m going to disagree with you there ..at least for the first half it was a back three …..and on that note I thought Webster had a good gameThe back was a regular 4 imho, Webster the RB.

Gross wasn’t a RB, he played in front of Baleba and Dahoud, with Lallana trying to feed balls to Evan.

Yep that’s how I saw it ….apart from I didn’t think Willian caused countless problems in the first halfFirst half right in front of us NS police box, Willian was repeatedly unmarked, causing countless problems. Working with Antonee. Their most dangerous player, madness.
Perhaps it was our system and formation.
And Gross wasn’t part of the defence at all, he and Lallana sat between Ferguson and Dahoud/Baleba.
