Lost with low quality team

[Phil Scrivener]

What do u mean?

You put you nearly lost JUST because you played an illegal formation ??

This means as a manager you put your team out all standing and playing in the centre of the pitch, and expected to win because the other team wasn't very good. If they played down each flank where you had no players . they would destroy you. Right??? yet you seemed or (maybe I read it wrong) to be shocked that this could happen ?

I had only played that formation due to injuries. I normally play 442 or 433. I wasnt expecting a 3313 or 31312 all narrow formation would come out like illegal and give me only 20% of possession. I just think illegal formations rule is a bit stupid.
