Bringing Antony in at LB was quite possibly one of the strangest, and funniest, moves I've seen ETH make in his entire tenure. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw him and Garnacho on the same side (I missed the actual substitution due to kiddo distractions) The fact that he was able to be somewhat effective and even score is mind boggling to me.
He was at his traditional RW position when he came in, only later in the 105th minute when we brought Mount in for Lindelof did he drop back to Left Defender, right after the Elliott goal where we needed more offense.
So we were playing with a back 3 of Dalot-Maguire-Martial for the entirety of the second half of ET. What was crazy is I thought that would mean McTominay would drop and focus more as the 6, but he was essentially playing a forward, I guess because his legs were shot and he couldn't get back defensively. That left Eriksen as the defensive mid. Just crazy formation that somehow worked.
Only bummer is that Dialo picked up that second yellow for taking off his shirt, so he won't get to be a part of the Wembley semifinal.
