Yeah. Putting strikers on purely because they are strikers. Doesn't work when they're of this calibre.

Our academy shits out players comfortable in possession. As the only midfielder, Ozyakup was the obvious change when Oxo went off. We lost control after that. We aren't a team accustomed to changing shape much any more anyway, not that radically anyway.
