One thing I’ve noticed over the last few games is a huge improvement in our shape.
Until the international break it looked like we was playing with a flat back 5 with two deep midfielders sitting in front with nothing more than a low block and a low press.
The last few games I’ve noticed the wing backs have tucked in and been defensively responsible when the opposition have been in possession whilst pushing forward as auxiliary wide men whilst we have been in possession offering an outlet down the flanks.
The defensive line has been a bit higher and our midfield 3 have been pressing higher up the pitch too.
Obviously barring a miracle it is unlikely to produce a miraculous escape from relegation but by the same token it’s nice to see us playing with a bit more purpose, shape and doing more higher up the pitch rather than sitting back and letting the opposition dictate the game to us on their terms
