On a slightly different subject but still under the "Maresca Tactics", I feel a lot more confident going into the last 10 minutes of games. Even supporters who aren't fans of Maresca's tactics must think this is better than when we bought on another ineffective defender and camped in our own penalty area.

I don't think we are copying Man City, More like Brighton, I think the Liverpool style would require far more multiple upgrades. Brighton have got where they are paying similar transfer fees as us.

Yes, and I'm surprised at how good Stolarczyk has looked, especially with his distribution. Overall I feel we will make fewer mistakes at the back as the season goes on. At the moment it's more the mistakes we make at the other end. I think @Lillehamring pointed out that decision-making in the final third cost us the game on Saturday.

yeah, and I'm grateful to all the people who post here who know more than me. Last season I read this stuff and managed to get full match replays to watch again. It's so easy to miss stuff in the heat of the match.

I guess it comes down to what you see and we don't all see the same. What I see is totally different to last season. slowly rolling it between the two centre halves while everyone in front stood still. This season you can usually see that the centre halves are waiting for players to commit. As soon as they do the ball goes into Winks or Ricardo who then look to move it forward. The patterns can quickly drag the opposition around and we have seen times when it rips opposing teams open, even Liverpool. I'm amazed that we can do that after just a few games. Even the most pessimistic of fans must concede that with a new team, manager and way of playing, things will get better rather than worse. As others have posted here, there's been plenty in each game to get excited about if you want to embrace it.

Have you honestly not found this seasons football entertaining?
