Switching the defense today was a mistake. I thought in the second half they had settled into the game, and maybe switching on Distin disrupted that a bit. I thought we gave away a bit less in the second half as well, but it's still something we really need to work on.
The one thing I continue to wonder though, is how Tiny Tim gets in the team right now. He is on a very poor run of form, and for the most part he was pretty ineffectual aside from winning a few balls for us in midfield. I love Tiny Tim and he's one of my favorite players, but I don't think he should be starting every week right now. Despite recent showings, I would still rather see Apostolos up there instead.
Speaking of Apostolos though, I think since his first league start he has lost a lot of credit in Moyes eyes. McAleny is a very promising player, but I wouldn't have thought he would be coming on instead of Vellios. With that being said, I thought McAleny did pretty well for his debut. Hopefully he gets more of a look in as the season progresses.
