When Dembele went off we lost control of the game . It was the wrong move . He broke up Gents play again and again once we were down to 10 men to the extent that we didn't look a man short. Once he went off holes appeared in our midfield. I saw absolutely no reason to make that substitution and it cost us big time.
Having said that, I have been saying since we lost Rose that we should stay away from 3 at the back . Davies is simply not a wing back and Vertonghen and Toby do not need Dier alongside them.if Winks is going to play I would rather see Dembele moved forward .
Vertonghen was forward more than Davies So it felt to me that Davies could cover when Verts goes on a run. So i think the formation is valid.
