I'm pretty certain we will play 433 (or 451) next season but, then again, I'm pretty certain we'll play a whole host of other formations. This is what Potter has done and, given that's what he's done, in all likelihood, he'll continue doing it with us. I'm picking on you individually, but I'm...

It's not just game by game, it's also within games. The players are going to have to take on board a lot of information. It'll be interesting to see whether he gradually introduces this flexibility, or just goes for it from the off. He has got a long close season to work on things. Given his...

Really like this thread, and this might be the best thing you've written. Hughton is a functional manager, where everybody has a role contributing to make the whole work, and exceed its parts/roles. Tracking back and shape are the key aspects across those roles. And Murray really, really...
