With 16 goals in 4 games who cares about the tag "width" anyway.

We should care because if all of our goals come from central build-up play then the managers of our future fixtures will now how to defend against us.

If we become too predictable then we might need to mix it up a bit and use Moses/Marin/Mata/Hazard as wingers rather than number 10s. I don't think it will become too predictable though because the 3 players behind Nando have the licence to roam and could create width themselves by moving further out nearer to the touchline and try to stretch play. Oscar, Mata and Hazard (the three strikers) are all able to play as wingers effectively, ok Oscar not as much but the other two were out and out wingers at one point then we have Moses and Marin so its just about Robbie choosing to play them as wingers or attacking midfielders.

Hope we use more width against spurs; playing through the center will expose us so much on the wings - Bale will rape (Though is he injured??)

My opinion: To make u feel better all our goals have not come through the center. And RDM is a flexible manager so he will surely know wat to do but until then as long as our trinity is as mobile as they have been and as effective I have no complaints.

NOTE: The problem with width is dat it makes it hard for us to maintain our shape defensively when we loose the ball remember AVB was all about width and highline as he still is with spurs and they always concede goals.

We can't play with much width because we've changed from 4-2-1-3 into a 4-2-3-1, except the wide attackers are stationary which then makes it a 4-2-1-3 like e.g R.madrid but ours are in rotation in a 4-2-3-1 which means more mobility in the center. Width is more suited to 4-2-1-3, 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formations so every formation comes with its solutions and problems depending on what players you have. If we must continue using our trinity Then width will always be an outside problem bcoz of the formation but creativity in place bcoz of their abilty but if we must revert to width then our No. 10 will always be faced with possibly 2 DM's e.g dembele and sandro against spurs and our defense might not be so good bcoz the deeper midfielders always have to come and support the No. 10
