I agree, we need to mix it up otherwise it’s all too predictable. I’m not against playing out from the back but it does worry me when Sam takes the ball way out of his penalty area. Why can’t the centre back do that? It does make me wonder whether we should have a substitute keeper on the bench as the risk of the keeper getting sent off increases with that approach.
Other than that, I’m quite happy, particularly as our new Head Coach is more flexible and will change things if it’s not working.
