No, I think this makes loads of sense. It causes asymmetrical lines which eases counter pressing. Good post.It will be interesting to see if the fb tactics we used today are permanent or if they were just something Jose thought we needed against west ham/this game. Having one full back constantly press up the pitch while the other drops into a back three could be interesting. It would definitely give them a little more freedom to get forward and not worry about always getting back. We might even see Rose paired with Foyth and aurier with davies more permanently. Probably reading too much into one game but maybe something to look out for.
To be honest snodgrass didn't jump for the header, he just stood still and waited for Aurier to make contact.Still thought he over complicated several situations & made a reckless challenge jumping into the back of Snodgrass. But did more good then bad I guess.
The rotation was something that he felt was necessary. The point was that they would only play 1 game a week and that game they would be up and down the pitch the whole time. The physical performance indicators would state that they needed that recovery to perform at top level. Unfortunately the players stopped giving 100% and it made the point of rotation redundantCredit were it's due, he was good today.
Certainly will benefit from a run of games as all our full backs would.
I loved Poch but the over rotation of the full backs was something I never liked.
Yes let’s just ignore his magnificent cross for Kane’s goal and several other dangerous passes/crosses into the spammers penalty area.A poor challenge resulting in a penalty and us going behind.
If that had been correctly given you'd barely see any mention of him being good today.
He was fine but lucky.

No other Club in the top 4 rotates the full backs to that drastic extent.The rotation was something that he felt was necessary.
