They just need to speed the game up. We're far too pedestrian at home. As soon as any space opens up we're not quick enough to exploit it.
It's a capable squad, when everyone is fully fit. But when you're missing half a side you're going to struggle.
Tactically, the only change I would make against the 'bus parkers' is to not play Gini and Thiago together. And i'd be more inclined to leave Gini out in these games. He's fantastic in games against bigger sides but he keeps hold of the ball for too long and tends to pass backwards in too often iin the games against the smaller teams.
Assuming that we Fab back or we play one of the new CBs my midfield against the poor sides would be something like -
Henderson - Thiago - Jones/Ox/Keita
Something, Something, Something, Dark Side
