team shape.
i watches all 3 games several times this season, i see a new pattern to our play.
1- we defend deeper, which means teams do not get behind as much.
2- we defend deeper because, we've had huge change of personal during the 2 last season, i think 7 of the 11 that started yesterday was not even at the club 13 months ago, while gibbs and mannone never played,
this means we now have a team suited for defending deep, tsller defenders, gibbs, jenkinson, mertseacker.......and more hard working frontline, podolski, ox and giroud compared to arshavin, nasri and RVP
we also attack with pace rather than our usual(from the last 6 years) slow build up, which means we dont get everybody up the pitch to attack, leaving us exposed for counter attack.
we play more like wengers teams used to play, we have completely changed the structure of the team, this explains alot of our new found defensive stability.
cazorla is our begrkamp, not cesc, bergkamp had, henry, pires and freddie making runs for him, cazorla have ox, podolski and giorud making runs for him.
cesc never had runners, he had RVP, arshavin, nasri, rosiscky and helb all wanting ball to feet, that meant slow build up and defenders pushing on, only walcott made runs, which also explains why theo was very important for us previously but not as much now.
there you go
