Martin’s system can be exploited by speedy wingers and a high press, this is exactly what Kompany did.
We haven’t got the players good enough or fast enough to fill the wing-back roles which leaves our centre-backs exposed, and there’s no money to get them, so he fits round pegs in square holes.
Our regular left wing-back Manning was injured, a huge miss, so he switched our right wing-back Sorinola to left wing-back.
He brought in centre-back Latibeaudiere, just back from a dislocated shoulder injury, to play right wing-back with disastrous effect.
His tactics were naive to say the least.
We’ll know later today if he’s appealing Piroe’s red card.
