This defeat is mainly on Farke's tactical skills. His rotation plan is wrong: he should have started rotating three weeks ago, resting one or two of his preferred 11 for a match or 45 minutes. Yesterday's five changes (Meslier, Gray, Kamara, James, Struijk), only partly out of strict necessity, was too many. Same happened against Stoke, rhythm disappeared.
Also agree with those who mention lack of width, creativity and shots from the distance as explanations. And, oh, obviously Piroe need to be our CF. Rutter and Summerville should play at LW and no. 10 and/or vice versa - that would add to the creativity.
