Our Left 10 and Right 10 system. 16:27 - Jun 25 with 705 views | Marshalls_Mullet | Our performances didnt really translate to the Premier League after getting promoted, and I keep seeing reference to our system with; Right winger, and then a left 10 and a right 10. With Leif covering all of the left hand side. We should have a stonger squad compared to when we were last in this league. Should we revert to a more traditional 4-2-3-1 with LW, 10, RW? Might set us up better for the Prem if we don't have a system that hangs Leif out to dry if we return. |  |

Our Left 10 and Right 10 system. on 16:32 - Jun 25 with 666 views | darkhorse28 | Im not sure we will have a stronger squad. More quality, yes, but that group had generational belief and motivation. Even our legacy group know if we make it back, they are nukes off that level, and won’t be playing. That belief and team dynamic we had, you don’t switch it ion and off. 23/24. It was very fine margins. If you take 2/3% off our performances across the season, where would we finish? .., probably not promotion? |  | |  |
Our Left 10 and Right 10 system. on 16:33 - Jun 25 with 666 views | SheffordBlue | One of the issues with the system last season was that the left sided CMs (Luongo role) struggled to read the game well enough to provide the cover for Leif when he went forward. Luongo was very good at doing that. I guess the million dollar question is whether the game model would work in the Prem with better players/players who really understand the system or whether even then it's too open. Hopefully the CM upgrades this summer will give us a better chance of making it work with players who have the physical abilities to do it in the Prem and have had a season of playing in the system by the time we get there. |  |

Fair point in terms of momentum and team spirit, that's difficult to measure at this point. We potentially have an incredible back 4 at this level Leif, Greaves, O'Shea and Tuanzebe (TBC). There will be BIG investment in central midfield, and Philogene and Clarke are proven start performers at this level. |  |

I understand the point about spirit and momentum helping propelling us upwards. But don’t understand the “if we’d been 2 or 3% worse” we wouldn’t have gone up. It’s like saying if other teams had won more games they would have gone up. They didn’t. We did. It is what it is. |  |

Yep, Leif was still creating a lot of chances he just had no help in transition from our midfielders Need a mobile destroyer in there. |  |

Read across to AV but we are a little way off that level for now :) I don’t know how good good enough is to survive a first year PL scramble where perhaps a more solid 4141 oop would do with the right players in those CMf roles to protect and progress the ball up the pitch, and the right player in that RW role to attack in the way we want when we end up 3115 or whatever it is! |  |
