We tried to do something different once before this season and look where it got us

The move for our first goal woulda beat most teams.
Tav's amazing round a corner pass to Jack, who ran 4/5 yards playing it out in his head,his first touch pass,inch perfect to Alfie who flicked it up before hitting a beauty of a shot down low into the net.
A goal made in heaven for me. 
And just for the record,Porto were no mugs.

Playing a back three / five (if you count the wing backs) like that with two men spare, marking no one, makes zero sense.

We still created the better chances in the first half once we got to grips with the pace of the game.

The biggest issue we had in the first half was our midfield was consistently caught flat in a line. Davis was playing much higher than usual. We struggled to create and have good passing options through the press. That changed in the second half.

Yes, because they went 442 (couldn't believe our luck when they did that) and we then had the extra man in midfield.

think the game changed when Arfield replaced Barker. 

Hate to say it, but it was like bringing on our 11th player.
