I feel like we there has been a concerted shift to be more deliberate with our play to break down the low blocks we face so often.

But I think the issue is we are too slow getting the ball from defence to midfield (or from our third or our half of the middle third of the pitch to their half). That gives opponents too much time to set their defences and get organised with me behind the ball. Too often we have Saliba and Gabriel passing it around on the edge of our box, I just feel last year they were passing the ball a lot closer to the middle of the pitch. Our deliberate play should be occurring in the middle of the pitch or the opponents third to really stretch them, feels like we’re too slow in crafting our attacks from way too deep which gives our front 5 absolutely no room to work which is why they’ve all struggled
