Add to that it sounds like Vinnie had a mare plus the full backs were their usual defensive misfits.Did Denayer really come on at half time and make us look better?
It really is difficult to say what our formation was at the start. My best guess is 4-2-4. Evans played in central midfield alone, but i suspect Nasri was detailed to play alongside him. The defence was poor but there was no protection from midfield with no one tracking back. The defenders were all culpable but they were heavily outnumbered at times. Denayer did come on at half time for Vinnie and we were much better, but there was a bank of 4 midfielders in front of them in the 2nd half, which helped. The massive number of subs in the 2nd half broke the game up too. Fernando is out of the Baggies game so I don't know who will play in central midfield with Yaya.
