Also, anyone notice the formation changes?
Not in order, but when Lingard was subbed out for Greenwood, I noticed that we changed our front line into a 4 formation. Rashford, Martial, Greenwood, and James also kept rotating between the 4 positions, I kept seeing James on the left wing, and greenwood on the right, then back in the middle with Martial, or Rashford.
It was super interesting, and I think it cause a good bit of chaos in the defense, which eventually led to our goal assisted by James, playing from the left.
Meanwhile at the back, I noticed Mcguire was playing a lot more forward than usual, almost as a CDM, which of course pushed Mctominay and Fred forward as well. While this was going on, Shaw and AWB alternated in playing a more CB role, while the alternate played as a wing back.
Its an interesting tactic, and I think if Ole can refine it better, or introduce more creativity (like he did with Greenwood) it could potentially be the way we crack open the teams that sit back and defend.
