Wasn't Hendrick caught in no mans land too though, not knowing whether to stick or twist so to speak?

He's a bit lost looking alright but I don't think it's a major issue if Arter closes his legs :) - https://youtu.be/D4acjRjt8LM?t=38s

I do think that comes down to player intelligence and leadership on the pitch as much as anything else. Same in Glasgow and to a ridiculous extent in Turkey, we fell asleep.

There's a big difference between publicly naming the team and telling the players who's playing though.
It's not unknown to name the team so close to kick-off. I know UCD did it in our European games (when we had changes in the team). The previous evening's training session can decide things (particularly in a friendly where you're looking to experiment), and possibly the medical check-in on the day too.

It does still sound a bit counterintuitive alright though.
