So at 2-0 down and lucky not to be further behind, Ole brings on an extra striker, changes the shape of the team and completely turns the game around (aided by Sheff Utd totally folding). Then at 2-3, they were briefly creating more openings and looked likely to add a fourth. So what does the manager do? Takes off a striker for a defender and resorts to the shape that put them in the shit in the first place. Invited pressure, conceded a goal.
People can say they're transitioning and putting faith in the youth all they like as excuses for their poor form, but that is just outright horrendous management from a tactical perspective. The opposition were dead on their feet, both physically and mentally.
Also, Lukaku, Sanchez, Herrera, Smalling and even Fellaini walk into their starting 11 today yet they practically let them all leave, willingly.
