    We have such a difficult away fixtures at the start of the season that we need to get some positive home results.

    So very little movement. All the passes (other than the hopeful long ball forward) seem to be to a stationary player. Still plenty of time to sort it out :)

    No early width. No one to cross to in the middle. No movement. Somehow completely overrun in midfield. And no shots taken from within 30 yards.

    Something ain't working.

    I am at the game. Davis looks lost playing out wide, so does Prowse.

    And yet at the same time, they kind of aren't playing wide enough...

    I know it is a diamond, but it almost looks more like 4-6-0 to me, Tadic is too often the furthest forward player and the attacking players are too far apart. 3 at the back completely nullifies this system.

    Neither of them are playing wide? They're both playing CM...

    It's born out of the needs of the pressing; the strikers are needed to cover the fullbacks, so you pretty much need to stand on the ball after gaining possession while we get into attacking shape. We aren't going to be a quick counterattacking side, that's for sure.

    Better now.

    That's why we gave Dusan a new deal.
