Did anybody else notice the commentators didn't seem to realize there'd been a formation switch to 3/5 at the back?? They kept talking about Payne being left back, rather than the left of three centre backs. I thought the switch was the most significantly different formation move Talay has made, and they didn't even reference it.
Great win. Personally I gave them no chance, esp when Talay was mentioning Fenton/Elliott as possible AM options, and Sandoval dropping back into a DM role.
No mention of Piscopo & Sotiro both starting or a formation switch. Sure fooled me & perhaps John Aloisi as well.
