We're beyond a tweak of the tactics.
In fairness I think we should be more counter attacking, but lack the pace to do it. For a long time we have needed a couple of pacey options up front.
And it was always one of the main things that people used to bellyache about us for when MON was here.

I get that, but Leicester do the same thing now.Then again Leicester haven't spent the money MON did. I get it, it's just that those days seem somewhat halcyon from the bottom of the table, despite the legitimate grumbles at the time and since.

I think Leicester will probably find it tougher in the second half of the season, as teams will go there with a much more defensive mindset. If teams put ten men behind the ball, I'm not sure they will have the quality to break them down.

Even if they finish as low(!) as eighth, what a season for them.
