Send the team out as they're used to playing and only change the shape mid game, on the hoof, if needs be. And send the odd sub on when something's clearly not working!
That dominant shape we've been employing up until now?!
Yep, a back 4 (rather than a back 3/5) that almost got us into the champions league last season. We've demonstrated we can play, and that we have good players. We dont need to throw out the baby with the bath water.
We demonstrated we could play last year with Elanga and Wood in the team. Aside from the aforementioned Betis game we've not shown we can play without those guys this season.
