Rewatched he match and that diamond formation is an absolute shocker, Ndombele and Sisokko were receiving the ball so wide they were blocking off runs from Walker-Peters and Rose.
As soon as we moved to 4-2-3-1 you could see Ndombele getting his foot on the ball in the right areas. Pleased that Pochettino and the coaches saw the issues the formation was causing.
Sisokko playing out wide as part of the 3 looked clueless, however as soon as Winks went off and he moved to the middle his drive from midfield caused Villa problems.
And yet somebody on here stated quite catagorically the other day that Ndombele 'can't play in a pivot'.
