I'm starting to think the orders have been go out there do enough, and don't go full speed yet because we have to use our fitness carefully (my opinion). the trouble has been we have looked so unbalanced because not all XI have had a good day.
I can't remember exactly which game it was - possibly West Ham - when I noticed what seemed to be a 1-man-only press from us, as if the front four had been told to play it that way. It stood out because it did seem organised and not just that the players were all knackered from the start.
It made me wonder if Poch feels like he has to pull some magic out of the bag himself at this point and is tweaking things that might be best left alone. The formation changes and sometimes odd starting lineups might be a part of that... like he's trying to compensate for the WC fatigue and lack of signings.
Hopefully the positive play that we saw last night will be a sign of things to come and a return to us playing the way we have for the past two seasons.
