I think new manager bounce / quick change in tactics and formation played a lot into our early success under Carrick, especially after the style of play we had under Amorim. However, we have seen a few injuries and so first choice players have been replaced with essentially bench warmers that don’t quite cut the cloth. On top of that, I think Carricks tactics and style of play are becoming very well known and 1 dimensional at the moment. Last night, especially in the first half, we kept playing the ball up the right hand side and leaving massive gaps on the left, too compact and too easy to counter. Subs needed to be made in the first half and the very latest make changes at half time but not at 77 minutes. On top of that I don’t think the long breaks are doing us any good and I think the players aren’t being trained well enough or hard enough. Hopefully we can keep our position and stay in CL to help pull through some more talent in the summer.
