Quote from: Brend'Watkins on Today at 11:57:40 AMQuote from: ChicagoLion on Today at 11:50:33 AMQuote from: aj2k77 on Today at 11:37:14 AMJust to highlight the defensive work done over Summer. We've conceded more than once in 3 of our 18 games this season. Prior to that it it was 21 times in 57 games last season and 22 times in 56 the season before.Having a settled defence obviously makes a difference but it's more than just that.Martinez is making a couple of World class saves most games, so this and scoring worldies i don’t think is sustainable A big issue is that we don’t have much penetration from the wings.It’s not seen as an issue because we don’t play that way and the reason we don’t is so that we are more compact on any counter attack. It’s not 100% effective though but clearly seen as more effective than assigning players to a wing role.Pretty sure he bought Sancho and Guessand in to give us option's out wide.
