Back 3 vs city?

[gandhisflipflop]

I have seen a few people say we went with a back three during the city game. Is this true? I couldn’t watch the game as I was out on the road.

If so, what formation did we play and did it work? (Obviously it in terms of results but performance?)

We started off with the usual 442, but switched to a 3 when Roberts came on at left wing back in the second half when we were 3 0 down.

It weas a case of damage limitation. In fairness as a result of City at that stage just sitting on their lead and not feeling threatened combined with a better defensive set up by us, Trafford had little to do in those last 30 minutes

"Better defensive set up by us" sums it up
Starting with a back four and our limitations across the line leaves us with so many defensive problems
Trouble is we have now lost our left wing back in Roberts
