Attack, attack attack.
As you can see, I should be the official advisor. :greensmile:

Our problem is that we sit back and let teams have the ball. We're basically a counter attacking side with the left and right midfielders making an attacking 3.
I would much prefer us to keep the same formation but play a high pressing game so we're on the front foot, rather than sit back and let other teams have the ball.
But 2 up front? Nah.

Completely agree with not bothering with 2 up front. It's pointless in 2017 because nobody else does it, so we would lose out in the middle. We need to be more fluid than that.
The dilemma is the Spurs method of pressing, or Mourinho style of sit and counter. Both are extremely effective when players are playing with confidence.
I'm not sure we have players capable of the pressing method atm - it's extremely hard to do for 90 minutes and get right. It's one of the reasons I have so much admiration for the way Spurs play. However, it has its pitfalls - Spurs are yet to win anything playing that way, and Mourinho, on the flip side, has won multiple trophies in the last few years.
So, here's hoping we keep improving week on week with the countering 4-2-3-1/4-1-4-1/4-3-2-1 that Adams loves.

Highly unlikely I'm afraid Pogles. We are probably going to be set up to defend our point, but with the ability to create the opportunity to take a chance and take all three with a 1-0 win.
