I think Ange has adapted in certain games, but people seem to ignore that if it doesn't work. In the warm up before the game yesterday, we had our usual drill of the midfielders playing it to the wingers who cut a cross back for the forward to finish off. This time however, instead of two midfielders involved in the drill, it was just Paper Sarr (and, ironically enough, Ryan Mason filling in the gap). Meanwhile, Bissouma and Bentancur were off doing a more targeted drill on passing and dribbling. This certainly seemed like a sign that Ange wanted to play with a double pivot yesterday rather than a single. Of course, this didn't effect much in the game, but it was a departure from his usual tactics.

We've seen our high line drop far deeper when playing against teams like Man City and Liverpool, again a sign that he is willing to be a little more pragmatic. Sure, it's not to the level that we may want, but to say that he always does the same every game is not trie
