I would play a 4-3-3 but with two deeper midfielders. The problem we had against Leeds was that every time Ledley had to drop in to cover for a full back a Leeds player moved in to the space and gave us a headache. The issue with this is that it puts a lot of pressure on Mount and the wingers to create, but I would rather have that problem than the problems we had against Leeds.

He can't win. Nobody that manages or plays for Derby can.

Job done. Plenty of other Championship clubs being taken to penalties so it's nice not to have ballsed it up.

BBC app says the first goal was an O.G?

Shame for Forest who are losing to Bury. It will be an embarrasing call to the coach company to cancel the League Cup winners parade they had booked.

Cracking finish

I take it the League Cup isn't part of Sky's live midweek football thing?

Wait a few months, get over there in February when Bielsa has knackered them all out and the injuries, suspensions and tiredness have started to pile up.

The thing is India played really well in South Africa on some absolute nightmare pitches, they just seem massively under cooked for this test. Not sure if it is a lack of preparation or what, they just aren't at it.

That was pathetic from the Indian batsmen. I understand we had the right conditions but they didn't look like a team that could be bothered to even try and adapt.

I left after 85 minutes. The back four/five clocked off after 5.

Ledley is a problem. In fact the holding midfield position in general is a problem. It's key to the formation and I am not sure anyone in the squad is at the level we need.

I hope Lampard is a quick learner because Bielsa just sat him down and gave him a proper lesson.

I think we might have got Leeds at a bad time, they looked good against Stoke and will be pumped up for this. You want to play them as late as possible when Bielsa has had time to absolutely drain the players of all their energy with his mad pressing tactics.
