The Faurlin and Granero problem

[West Acton]

Said before they need to take it in turns to play 20 yards further forward so their passes are going forwards into the strikers so they can get shots off instead of passes going sideways.

It looks neat, tidy and pretty popping it about the middle of the park but that does not penertrate and we have the look of Swansea about us playing that way. Get those passes going forwards on the edge of the box ala Spurs and we will be in business

Problem with diakite is he is not a holding midfielder he like's to bomb forward and when we loose the ball he does not always chase back to retrieve.

Which is probably a good thing otherwise he'd probably be getting sent off every match.
