If it had worked he would no doubt have been "A GENIUS" mate.

My point is and has been there was no need for anything "clever" against Reading.

MAke yer mind up. I thought yer point was:

Rafa seemed at times more interested in showing how clever he was rather than picking a team that would win the game.

And the difference is ?

One (your new point) is a climb down from a ridiculous statment, the otehr (the old point) is a ridiculous statement.

My point is there was no need to change the formation, play a strange team lineup, even before he took Torres, Gerrard and Carra off.

As I have said before IF anyone can explain why he changed a winning formation for that one game before reverting back to 4-4-2 in the following very important game I would be interested to hear it.

I think you have answered your own question here mate.

He tried something, it never worked, so he reverted back to tried and tested.
