I think it's a very transitional setup... 4-5-1 to 4-3-3 to 3-4-3.
Yeah it's true. I'm not unhappy with it, but that's how Mourinho set up from the start last autumn, so it's not new. On occasion it even looks like 424, which I think is a great approach given that the for in front are Moura, LoCelso, Kane and Son.

Absolutely nothing wrong with how we played that half. Created a few dangerous chances, scored 1, and basically didn't look that troubled at the back aside from their one chance. That's exactly how to play away games.

Add a few more quality players to the team and it would be more emphatic
Spot on, away games never easy, key to keep it tight early on. Room for improvement going forwards in our attacking play but slightly better today and with better players that will also help. We still miss an Eriksen type or dembele replacement

Anyone who thinks Mourinho will make us a very good team again is seriously deluding themselves. This is how we will play pretty much every game and we won’t be close to winning CL or the league or maybe even a cup

He’s so outdated
give it a f****** rest. getting real boring now

No different to last 18 months under Poch then if it wasn't for VAR.

Looked like Gio was tasked to man mark Shelvey after the drinks break. Needs to be a little tighter

Good news is we’re winning and whilst I wouldn’t say we’ve been poor our central midfield looks disjointed once again. Winks, Sissoko and Lo Celso need to be closer together... there’s been numerous occasions when there’s been colossal gaps between each of them. It’s like they’re playing on their own and forgetting as a 3 they’re responsible for the fluidity and function of our central midfield.

I'm in the we're not playing well camp. We keep leaving Shelvey with too much room & he's causing us problems. The games there to be won go & win it or we'll pay the price.
