I just find it daft that you would have a pre-conceived formation for an away european game, regardless of who its against.
We've beaten top teams with 4-4-2 away from home and we will again.

Its just variance, they only had a few chances and they took them well. The first goal was extremely lucky, and the other two were due to poor defending.
But im sure if Ledley had been playing we wouldn't have been so fragile at the back. Thats not knocking Seb, he has only played what, a game and a half pre season? He was just not quite ready for this big of a game.
I seem to remember us doing pretty well away from home in previous campaigns in Europe whilst using 4-4-2. Beating PSV (in reg time), Beskitas, Braga, Slavia Prague.. Etc..
He didn't play at all pre-season. Tuesday was his first appearance since last season.
