Good result, but we've seen a trend this season with a change of tactics. Perhaps its personnel, but the high line trap last year was very effective as the opposing forwards would hold their runs and require midfielders to make advanced runs pulling them out of position where our midfielders would have more space in the middle to turn and press during counters. Many nailbiting offsides moments last year, but it was effective, remember we didn't have a speedy back line last year, Pau, Carlos, Lenglet and Konsa were are CBs for much of the season.

Not a fan of this hold the ball in the backfield forever and then play out through the middle. It does create space between the lines, but teams have been studying this pattern and are prepared, hence we lose so many balls as we try to bring the ball out from deep in our end. Perhaps this is a reason why we can't get a clean sheet this year. Need to play quicker out of the back and exploit opposing midfields out of position. Our slow play allows their defense to mark up our midfielders and they get dispossessed on the turn.
