I had thought at times we looked short of being ready for the Premier League level, but today really filled me with optimism ahead of the new campaign.
Make no mistake, that 3-4-2-1 system has not just been worked on in the last 4 days, that’s been in the works throughout pre season - and it’s no surprise we used it at the final game against arguably our toughest test ahead of Liverpool/City.
Whilst sticking to our principles, there will be times we have to approach differently and suffer a bit more, the step up in quality is substantial.
But I think tactically today it showed we will have a different string to our bow which will prove vital this season.
Squad suited the system as well - and if Szmodics arrived as the point of a front fluid 3 like he did at Blackburn I think we will spring a couple of surprises on teams this season.
Hamer, Szmodics, Alzate and I think we’ll be pretty close to well set group for the season. |  |
