Another thing to note is that the team was really picked with 3 defensive midfielders plus Tinto. Therfore, when defending, the team would basically switch from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 with the midfilders tight in the middle. Spann would cover the right and Trent on the left with Yorke in the middle (in a V shape).
Carlos though, was playing like a RB would in a 4-4-2 waiting for the right midfieler to help him and thus his positioning was bad (especially on the first goal). I not blaming him though, he is a midfielder and it is not easy to just learn a new position with new tactics and not make a few lapses in judgement, just at this level every mistake u basically pay for. This made Tinto have more work to do than he was supposed to have as his job was to kill them in the attacking third and Latas probably didn't want him expending too much energy on the defensive end, otherwise he woulda pick a genuine left mid too and have both of them tracking back, rather than play Noel in the role he did.
So when judging Carlos and Tinto we have to remember the roles they were asked to play for the team...and both did very well with what they were supposed to do.
