16 back four v 17 back three doesn't look like wedded to me.
As I said he picks what he thinks is best with what he has available. It's ridiculous to say conceding two goals means he was wrong, who's to say we wouldnt have conceded more with a back four ?
With Raggett the only proper centre back available for weeks it made sense to play a back three, now we have signed Carter and Robertson is nearly ready, it is far more likely we will see a back four soon.
Personally I'd rather stick to three at the back as it is defensively solid, but we need a left wing back and better strikers to make it work.
