    As usual we need to speed it up. Far too slow and ponderous.

    Need to get Hume overlapping. Still don’t like this cutting inside business

    I believe that's our tactics, we don't want another 4-5 free for all imo.

    All a bit pedestrian going forward for me. A decent amount of possession but again no end product. Nil shots on target and our shooting is woeful at times. Still in it though and all to play for. Need to take more control midfield and get forward a bit quicker. Haway lads.

    Coaches all over the country have lost their mind with this latest innovation mind.

    Guardiola does it as a way to get an extra player in the attack. Just about everyone else loses attacking threat from their full back and gains nothing.

    I've said this for weeks now, it adds nothing and leaves out winger isolated and easier to mark.

    Positive start to the second half. Much quicker tempo from us.

    Guardiola doesn’t even play full/wing backs anymore either. Has 6 midfielders between the back 3 and Haaland so it makes sense for them to play narrow
