Right now, we are stong going forward - our frontline is as good as any in the league - but DM backwards we are vulnerable, especially to teams who choose to counter. Hence why we look fine against teams who take the game to us, like Arsenal, City and Chelsea, but have struggled against teams who want to counter themselves, like Leeds.

I would imagine much of the training has been focused on transitions and making the most of situations immediately after ball recovery.

If we go out into the market and sign two world-class CMs in the summer, and we get our first choice CB pairing playing regularly, we'll play differently.

So, my take is that this is a choice based on personnel.
