4-4-2????

we played the 4-5-1 formation yesterday that we employed throughout the 10 game unbeaten run. That's the formation that made us a Premier League club for next season - pretty much every time we played 4-4-2 we looked rubbish.

When the pressue was on yesterday Hoots stuck with the formation he thinks was best for this squad and it delivered the goods.
