that back four looks like a huge gamble

it worked better than the five in the second half against Chelsea because they had one up front (so one CB was superfluous), and because we needed to chase the game - so the extra attacker was more beneficial.

However, starting with those four in a must win away game looks an incredible risk. Just gambling that we will score 3 or 4 goals, because it gives Swansea's attackers so many weakness to play against.

Perhaps it is forced by injury - can't see any other reason for it.
