We need a system - any system... on 16:33 - Apr 30 with 1986 views | rsonist | Yep, really outstanding piece and miles ahead of the usual reactive dross you get in the media these days. Also follows on nicely from discussion in this week's Antti Knee Jerks re Manning's suitability at left-back - not just in terms of individual skillset but also the tactical requirements to enable that line of production and to mitigate the spaces it leaves behind. He provides Premier League examples there but the case is just as compelling in this division - see Aarons/Lewis at Norwich, Baldock/Stevens at Blades, Bogle at Derby, Dasilva at Bristol C... Bielsa even going so far as to play career wingers Dallas and Alioski there. | ![](/images/avatars/6250.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
