Looks like a tactical adjustment. He must prefer a back 3/5 with Ward-Prowse as a wing back over a back four with Valery as full back. I wouldn't have thought we would play a back four with three centre backs on the park? Maybe he's starting off with a 3/5 (Prowse RWB) and seeing what happens. If he wants to open the game up he can bring Valery on for the last half an hour in a back four. It gives him an extra impact from the bench. The impact is non exist in reverse unless you're 2 or 3-0 up. I hope it's not a back four, otherwise we will get taught a lesson most likely.
Are we playing a back 3/5? I hate those terrible streams, I prefer to follow the game via text/updates. Actually don't worry I see it on Whoscored.com the structure. Glad he's playing that and not a 4 with this team. Shame about the injury in the warm up, it's restricted us a lot.
He's very weak defensively. More suited to home games in a four. Decent going forward. But he's lightweight and inexperienced in defence. I think Hassenhuttl picked a sensible alternative to the initial line up personally. Anyway, I'll be back at half time. Don't like watching games on a stream (or the radio) and following the live score gets painstaking.
Not quite sure the shot was called for, but that's already the third or fourth time that Boufal has driven us into a dangerous position.
