So it was more like 5-4-1 or 4-1-4-1 It was weird.

What they really played was a 4-4-1-1. The formation really doesn't matter though, the point is that they had no wingers and asked way too much of Gerrard and Parker. Personally I think they would have looked better with something like:
---------------Hart--------------
Johnson-- Terry-- Lescott-- Cole
--------------Parker---------------
----------Milner---Gerrard-------
Walcott-------------------- Young
--------------Rooney------------
