Thinking back to the first season of MB we used to dominate teams and hunt in packs - I remember where about 6 players tracked back against WBA that year.

Clearly teams are a lot quicker and better in the prem but also wonder if that is also a sign of the age of some of the players and not being quick enough.

Dallas gets done a lot that way as does Klich, Rodrigo, Roberts and sometimes Ayling. cooper just looks slow at this level and if he gets isolated Llorente is not the quickest no matter how quickly he reads thinks.

Spurs defensively against City were very cute in the way they studied where their goals come from and flooded that space.

We did something similar last year and maybe the tactics need to take more accou t of our limitations and evolve for the end of the season.

If we go behind we all know how that tends to end.
mate i replied with a long message but took too long and lost it, Lol, nothing new for me,

basically i will just name 3 players, the spine of our team, Cooper(what he lacks in quality he is a leader and we dont have one in his absence), Kalvin and Bamford. Get the back and we will be ok and survive..
