Hinshelwood on the right possibly because Harrison is so dangerous cutting in from that wing? Didn't work too well in the first half. Can see why he didn't throw Barco into that bear pit though against a Dyche side.Of course I have absolute faith in Fabian Hürzeler but didn’t expect him to start the season on the front foot coming straight from a Bundesliga 2 side with only 18 months in the top job - I was expecting a few months at least to get acclimatised to the EPL but I think he’s show great flexibility and a willingness to depart from a system that he built around players at his disposal at St Pauli to one that worked for us today.
Not sure of his reasoning for not putting Hinsh on the right but I suspect he’s still tweaking the squad. The direct attacking football was very much Hürzeler and the right tactic today against Dyche-ball. Still needs tweaking at the back but if we score goals this season at the rate St Pauli were scoring last season we are in very good hands.
Good goal difference to start the season on:
