Fair enough, my thoughts were poorly expressed. Of course you can have the lion's share of possession when playing with 5 at the back if the other team has no interest in controlling the midfield or pressing high and is happy to park the bus and play on the counter.
I'm just firmly of the opinion that we do not have the players for a back 5, it means playing an extra mediocre player and leaving out a much better midfielder or forward. I hope we don't see it again, or if we do, we play some great stuff and I'm proven wrong, though I very much doubt it.
I can at least agree with you that it would be good to see Rogerson get a go in an All Whites front 3, had forgotten about him.
