More than anything - like the football much better than last season!
Totally agree with your last comment Al! A more attack minded and fluid style of play, that's certainly a pleasing improvement on last season.

Of course, we all know that it isn't always going to be like that but at least there isn't this constant tippy-tappy stuff and too much passing the ball backwards and sidewards when it should go forwards.

Seem to recall reading an interview with Carlos recently where he said that this was a deliberate change of tactics to both create more attacking opportunities and please the fans. He also re-iterated the need for all individuals to play and work as a team and to ensure that they were competitive throughout the match which meant high fitness levels and work rate. Despite his lack of goal scoring prowess, I always liked BTA particularly for his attitude on the latter but, hats off to him, Grant has obviously taken this to heart too and set out to prove himself this season. Let's hope it continues-he certainly seems to be redeeming himself so far.
