The problem wasn't the loss per se...

... but I struggle to see how a tactic that involves 3 CBs, TWO CMs sitting only just in front of them, and then a whopping great 50 yard gap up to Sargent, is ever going to look decent. One of the CMs need to play much further forward to have a chance of linking the play.
Plus someone should tell Schlupp that if he's playing wing back he needs to at least sometimes try to get to the byline and/or put a cross in. Not stop and play it back behind him EVERY SINGLE TIME he gets the ball.
