There is a bit of debate as to whether we did actually go to 3 at the back or

whether Zimmerman just played right back. I had thought it was the former with the CB's playing wide but I suppose Zimm was staying quite a long way out towards the touchline.

Either way i still feel that all our defenders play better in the 3Cbs formation and all our full backs are better offensively than defensively so it is a formation that suits us. Probably the only issue with it is where Hernandez fit in to such a set up.

Pukki proving to be a key player. he has been involved in a lot of our goals and best attacking moves so far this season.
