After watching the first 3 games this season I have been hugely impressed with TM. I am not sure if anyone has noticed but we have been deploying a very similar system (attacking fullbacks aside) to that used by the European champions. I know you cannot compare the level we are using it at but the theory and principals are very close.
Barca have Neymar (Maddison), Messi (Lameries) and Suarez (Armstrong) they link play and generally are the three left to unlock the door of the opposition.
We in Maddison, Lameries and Armstrong have been doing very much that and the way they interchange and play between the lines has been a joy to watch. Therefore I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to see 2 of the 3 of them missing for the Burton Game and to have Madison out for months. I feel with the 3 of them we would have the most technically gifted top third in this league by a street.
This shows the crying need we have for players NOW as we will not be in the top 6 and will loose momentum if we rely on the other options available to us.
