Croasdale and Collar are closer to the back 3 than the center circle. Rooney on his own with the forwards trying to maintain some presence in the oppositions half. At the moment Raikhy is bucking the trend but will he become, like others, a square peg?.
We're not the only club copying England but the major difference is the presence of Rice and Phillips who have the energy and permission to tackle the opposition something our Defensive Midfielders don't.
Are you happy with the current system where we look to sit on a lead happy to rely on no deflections or bad decisions?
