Dzeko against 3 centre halfs. Yaya too deep. And the pace of the attack was too slow.
As soon Jovetic and Fern came on, the tempo was much better and faster, and we began opening them up.
Thankfully we made it look quite easy in the end.
Do you not think this had a lot to do with the fact that The Villa defence was getting tired and ragged. From about 55th minute they started to look like a boxer on the ropes. The tactics were perfect - keep probing, keep working the defenders, get the defence tired and ......BINGO ...... it all starts opening up. Then you can bring on fresh legs and players like Jovetic who make different runs and use the ball a bit differently. Villa were chasing shadows for the last 20 minutes or so - and that doesn't happen by chance. A brilliant team performance from players and management.
Spot on there Bleed. Will be the same on Sunday and I am confident we will have a similar result
