We win this way in the Championship as we're better than most teams so can blow them away on the counter. We lose every game in the Premier as we're not one of the better sides, we therefore have to find another way, and no that doesn't have to be route 1 before anyone says it. I think it’s interesting to see the tactical difference between last season and this. We are sitting as a unit a good 20 yards deeper than we did last season even with the ball. The inability to move the ball forward is as much a problem with the midfield and forwards as it is the defending. They look up and no where to pass too as they are too deep and the long ball to Pukki just comes straight back. we are really missing the extra attacking midfielder to link defence to attack and create overloads. Most teams at this level play 433 with the ball and 451 without I don’t get playing 5 at the back marking 1 man. Which we seem incapable of doing with any amount of men. We have the lowest amount of turn over of possession in the opponents half in the league by a significant difference tells you everything about how we are struggling not just to get out of our half but to squeeze the game as a team and push higher up the park Edited September 26, 2021 by By Hook or Ian crook Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
