Basically we've traded thrills, chills and spills from last season to steady results this season.
The system and style are more airtight, so far more effective, and despite his philosophy being contrary to this, not nearly as entertaining.
Last year, so many of our goals were in transition, with players moving forward in combination, and Mo of course was the main beneficiary of these. If you broke down every goal scored in all competitions last season, I'm sure a fairly high percentage of them would be of the breaking forward variety, while this season it's much more (percentage) where the defense is back and set, and we find a way through. It calls for somewhat different qualities from our forwards (not that they didn't show last season they could score in that situation as well, they did).
