I feel like our style of play is changing this season. We have a defence that can see out a 1 nil win with not much trouble. A lot more teams in the league are pressing high leaving space in behind.
We have Kova who can play deep with Rodri in a double pivot basically two CDMs , Foden playing as ten in midfield. We launch counter attacks a lot quicker when we win the ball.
We’ve sat back a lot more against Burnley and even more against Newcastle. We used the long ball more to Haaland. Just think of Doku in the space Walker had is nightmare fuel for opposition teams. It broke Newcastles press every time
Feels like Pep is changing the team again. The transfers we’ve targeted excel at dribbling and moving the ball quickly up the pitch.
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Doku
Eze ( if it is )
All excel at dribbling and moving the ball at speed. Foden and Alvarez in that Newcastle game were like two tens.
