Am I insane in thinking we actuslly looked better with three at the back last night?

Granted there was some poor individual defending but I felt for long periods we were comfortable, even when playing it out from the back. Liverpool hardly dominated and took their three chances which is often the case against prem teams. I think we created more good chances that we have in any previous game but unfortunately Idah has a stinker. The system suited Gilmour and PLM and with a few more of the first teamers back in I think it could work. Pukki looked bright when he came on and I like the idea of playing him up front with someone else so he isn’t so isolated.
