Yes fair point. I did think on Sunday though that he

should have made some subs a bit earlier because between the 70 and 80 minutes mark several of our players looked like they were really struggling.

In particular Amadou (who presumably hasn't played a game in midfield for a long time) and Cantwell. Kenny also put in a ridiculous shift in that Arsenal game. I was therefore a little surprised that he put out exactly the same midfield just 3 days later in such a big game and di not consider playing Lewis (unless he still injured?). I do feel Farke's preference for not making subs and letting players put a real shift in for the whole 90 minutes doesn't always help us when we have games in quick succession (which thankfully at this level is rare). He could perhaps use the squad a bit more/better.

I suppose now I just think we need to try and get back to what we are best at which probably involves playing Emi (maybe with Todd centrally) and possibly Vrancic and just "going for it" at least in our remaining home games anyway.
