Do you really believe we would have won if De Jong started.
It's not a matter of De Jong over another midfielder mate.
It's about a flexible game plan.

The only benefit I could have seen in playing De Jong, since we didn't need to be defensive, might have been to sit back and lure West Brom out of their half so we could catch them on the counter. But that is not the ideal way to go into a game against a team like that, who we should be beating.
Lets see. I say sooner or later we'll have to switch to that poaching tactics rather than goal storming.
Mancini's extreme minded but if he listens to Platt, we'll be fine.
