Pivot is the issue?!?

When Sahin is on top, he is world beater. He was great today two goals and assist. He is the perfect CM who has it all, but unfortunely he only plays well in Dortmund.

Haha.... I'm surprised he flop at Liverpool though or maybe he wasn't given proper time.

He's a class act . He had a tough time with liverpool but I think he was played more out of position there .

Formation is the ISSUE

Get rid of 4-2-3-1 and we have no pivot issues!!!

Hate this system and our absolute over reliance on it

Buy x,y and z to fix it... How about we use the players we have and find a formation that WORKS for our team!!!

Just my 2 cents...

Yeah exactly, we are sticking hard to 4-2-3-1 when we have no adequate players for the double pivot. Pre season is a great time to try out different tactics and formations to suit our current players.

After watching some incredible performance (at the start of the season and also recently) I am not convinced we have some recurring problem in some part of the pitch. I tend to believe most of the poor performances are due to some of the pressure the players were put and probably some lack of character has been exposed here and there. Also you can add some individual defensive slip ups that are almost always punished by the opposition.
