Reading v Arsenal

Just watching Gary Nev's destruction of Reading, and comparing it to his rather benign analysis of our defending against Arsenal earlier In the seasonseason.

 

Essentially our defence was properly set up, with people in the right places, being outdone by brilliance or bad luck (slipping). Reading are a train wreck.

A pretty damning assessment of 4-4-2 as well. Cortese's a tactical whiz.

To be fair, Neville's point was that 4-4-2 as a weaker side against a team that keeps possession as well as Arsenal is absolute suicide, not that the formation itself isn't suitable under certain circumstances. We've utilised it a few times this season with varying results.
