If you look at the games we're losing, most of our losses have come against teams that dominated possession(at least in the games I've been in).
Ive only played less than 10 club games so maybe I bring a fresh perspective since I havent played since last year.
I notice a lot of teams are patient and keep the ball and more importantly the teams shape. They work the ball wide(SLOWLY) and score from crosses in the main. This is completely different to last year, people have adjusted very quickly.
From what Ive seen, and this includes myself, we are playing too much like FIFA 11. Defence wins the ball and then anyone in the front 6 positions makes a Torres like run into the channel, often tripping each other up etc.
I dont think its a coincidence that none of the sides we met yesterday play anything even close to our style. And we didnt win a game.
