Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has come under fire for his midfield selection against Newcastle United.
The Dutchman experimented with his selection amid injuries and suspensions.
Bruno Fernandes and Marcel Sabitzer were used as a double pivot deeper in midfield.
Scott McTominay was played higher up the field, but the result was one of the team's worst displays this season.
Speaking on Match Of The Day 2, Danny Murphy was critical of the setup.
Eddie Howe got the better of Ten Hag tactically," he said.
I think Ten Hag has to take some responsibility, it's alright blaming his players but he set up the team with two attacking midfielders as holding midfielders.
"He had Sabitzer holding with Fernandes trying to contain Willock and Longstaff, and McTominay trying to stop Bruno [Guimaraes] and they got completely overran in the middle of the pitch.
I think I counted 11 times they ran off the back of the [United] midfielders - they're not used to playing this position, they don't spot danger, they're not communicating very well, the gaps were big."
