Looked like we went with a 442 to start the second half with Lamela on the left and Sissoko on the right. Then when Eriksen came on it was more of a 4231.Not sure what formation we played in the second half as all our outfield players were practically camped in their half. Even Toby & Sanchez spent most of that half in Villa’s side of the pitch.
Eriksen’s entrance made a difference as he plays further up the pitch than Winks usually does. Most of the time our players were looking to pass the ball to him to try and unlock the compact Villa defence. So I’d say that Eriksen did have a positive effect on the final result.
