Those tactics would give VVD a man of the match performance and see us with about 15% possession.Funnily enough those tactics may provide us with the best chance of winning tomorrow.

Who was the last team to win a match against a team and only having 15% possession?Possession stats are bloody meaningless, it's what you do with the ball when you've got it that matter. The media were brainwashed by Monsieur Magoo down at Woolwich who trotted that stat out when he didn't get a result but wanted to prove his team should have won and he was right as usual.
Virtually none but that was a random number you selected to emphasise your point, but we've all seen too many games where we have dominated possession and not got a result.Who was the last team to win a match against a team and only having 15% possession?
You can't score if you don't have the ball. A handy side effect of that is neither can the opposition when you have it.
In that case I'll pose another question.Virtually none but that was a random number you selected to emphasise your point, but we've all seen too many games where we have dominated possession and not got a result.

Can you think of a PL defender more suited to being a massive fudging lump and heading away long balls all day than VVD? There's not many.
By lumping the ball at him?No that's his strength, got to pull him around and make him run to areas he does want to be in.

Surely we'll need possession to pull them out of shape, and we won't have possession if we're playing route one football.
Good article, goes into what some of us were saying about the formation.
Look at Kane's movement v Moura's for example, madness by Poch. And in general way too narrow in the diamond. I still don't understand why we think playing through the middle against a parked bus is ever going to work. Not a fan of our long ball out to the full back and hope he does something tactic either, we're much much better than that.
We should and could start the game with more pace and circulation of players up top. Maybe it's too many first Xi players out and the resulting lack of confidence. But it was a pain to watch a CL finalist struggling with a recently promoted squad. (not apples comparison, but irks emotionally)

There really isn't any tangible difference between a 4-3-3 with a deep midfielder and one of the forwards sitting deep and a 4-4-2 diamond.It’s not a DIAMOND.... it’s a flat 3 midfield that randomly had one player 5 yards forward
It’s a shoddy 4-3-3 which doesn’t work
Said it during the game, the full backs were further forward than any midfielder and pretty much every other than moura
The big change was start of second half Moura hugged right and Lamela hugged the left touchline. We doubled up on their wide areas and it created overloads
