I must admit,i thought Atkinson did well last night,but Shaker has it spot on.
Man Utd played last night and started 4-2-3-1,and were two down and had no width,before going 4-4-2,with width and getting a result.
My point is you cant play this system with width as it becomes 4-5-1 and isolates the forward,which in turn the ball keeps coming back.
You have to hold the ball up front to allow runners to get there,and all the teams we have struggled against do this.
If you play the "three",then they should pass,move and rotate positions.
Did hatfield boco and molyneaux do this?,from what i saw we just played two out wide and hatfield isolated behind podge.
I dont know if the players are struggling to take on board Cookys ideas,but he spent 90 minutes screaming at them.
