It's from the correspondent article Frannies tache posted about 2 wks ago. It was about Mityjland not us but a good insight to RA

They weren't tough chances Sunday

Got to be Navy for me over black

And 4 months in a row voted defender of the month in Portugal

Thats the article, knew id seen it somewhere, really good read and explains a hell of a lot

There's a qoute from RA from his time at Mitjyland saying something like your eyes lie to you when watching a player, so they dont hence why its done on data analysis

It helps that their physically suited to epl not like we were

Phillipe Clement was available

Thats what I meant, with the 4 it allows the extra body in midfield, think it was Mainoo. So the overall formation looked so much more balanced , we suffer from getting overrun in midfield , if we sat a 2 of Jander/Downes/Charles/Bragg in front of a 4 of Jelert/THB/Quarshie/? Then play Leo/Stewart or AA/ Fellows .... why wouldn't that work

It wasn't even the 4atb its the fact they closed off the centre of the pitch with their extra midfielder, sat in, let city try and break them down and hit them on counter with their pace, they did it extremely well and it could've been 4 or 5. We have the players to play that bar questions over left back so there isn't a valid reason why we couldn't play that

No no no its nothing to do with formations and managers as some would believe on here

Nothing to do with the fact he scored 4/5 in the cup against a 3rd division French side just before we bought him

People do forget we were poor under RK at a point he was going out the door at Christmas time until results massively improved

It wont be

Having a beer with Jan Koller
