I think our game plan fell a bit between two stools

we had Mbokani on for crosses, but then Hoolahan to try to pass through them - but we didn't really have the support or conviction to do either tactic well in the end.

Would have probably been better to have gone all out for one of them, then switch fully to plan B if that didn't work. Start two up front if we wanted to put in crosses or play Wes with Dorrans, Howson, Brady in advanced positions if we were trying to pass through them.

Anyone think we would be better off with Jerome starting over Mbokani? (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Oct 24, 17:23:37
- Nope unless you play them both one up top doesn't work (n/m) (NCFC) - Mickdundee, Oct 24, 18:45:46

  - that's one of the problems with playing Hoolahan (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Oct 24, 17:32:46
    - Vmt is not good enough to build a team around in the prem (NCFC) - Mickdundee, Oct 24, 19:00:39

    - It's not a popular opinion but a pretty accurate one (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Oct 24, 17:36:15
  - Thought Jarvis crossing was poor tbh. Way too high for Mbok. Got into good areas tho (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Oct 24, 17:28:59
    - And that's why you need 3 players attacking the cross (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Oct 24, 17:30:43
    - Problem is Mbokani was so isolated, looking for a pin point cross to 1man vs 6 defenders. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Oct 24, 17:29:49
