Was it? We were winning one nil when he took off the second striker and we conceded with one up top. We also seemed to do ok at Arsenal with those two playing. One striker against Villas back three would have been a joke. In fact we only started looking ok again when he brought Murray on and back to 2 strikers..
We did well in the first half with 2 up top but Villa changed things at half time, mainly realising they didn't have to double man-mark Mooy, then things went awry immediately. It didn't help that Trossard went invisible.
IMO we were not looking ok in the second half with 2 strikers on.
