Yeah, the formation was untried with Herrera there and it all points to Mourinho still not knowing who his best players are and how/where to play them. As though he's now just trying different things more out of blind hope than through any kind of proper plan. But whatever way he plays them, too many individual players seem to have lost trust not just in his ideas but in him. It's the usual Jose 3 year plan: 1) build bus; 2) park bus; 3) throw squad under bus. His success was built through a cult of personality so it's inevitable people will look into that personality to try and understand why it always implodes after three seasons.
