Anyone seen any hints of style from the friendlies so far. I watched tonight's game and it looked as if we were moving the ball quicker with more conviction.

Yep but as usual with little or no end product. And once again our corners were absolutely appalling. What do the players do on the training ground?

It looked very similar to last season IMO.

Any observation on today's game. What is different under Hyppia.

THe full-backs push on more. We look like we've forgotten how to defend.

Press higher and try and move it forward quicker. Not so much emphasis on keeping possession. Will take time but with right players could work well. Full backs are much higher meaning the 2 other forwards on the pitch tuck in closer to the main striker. Worked well for the goal. Downside we seem a bit more exposed defensively although Toko has not been playing past couple games. He covers ground very quickly and would be essential in front of back 4

Main difference for me is the full-backs are far more advanced and hug the touchline too.

Worryingly, though, they don't seem to add much to our attacking play and leave us far more exposed at the back. As said on another thread, based on what we've seen so far we'll still struggle going forward but be weaker at the back.

Didnt think we showed any definitive style today it was as if the players were unaware of their duties. We desperately need a brain in the side to organise and dictate play.

No sign still of anyone who can take a decent corner.

I'll have a look next Thursday I feel Sami is still assessing the players I will judge when we have played a few league games as I said last year keep the faith!

I think we have chose the utter GASH style from what I've witnessed so far
