To my mind, the main reason we conceded 3 goals in 30 minutes last night has to go down to the formation we set out in and what i would call a tactical error by Redknapp. I thought we looked crowded out of the midfield, especially as i didn't think Gio came in enough off the wing and left us with effectively 2 in midfield when Bale got forward.
To his credit, Harry realised the mistake and brought Hudd on for Benny, which really left us with a 5 man midfield as bale got forward, and from then on i thought we looked much more asserted and composed. That may be testament to Hudd's performance but i think it is more due to the change of formation and the amount of possesion we had after that point. Even when Bale and Gio got forward it left us with 3 in the middle to stop counter attacks and when we were pinned back Hudd dropped back into defence.
I think that we should be playing a five man midfield in all the away european games personally otherwise we will continue to be over run in midfield.
