It's easy to defend against us, because we're so slow in moving the ball from defence to midfield and attack. It takes ages for us to realize it. And most of the time we lose possesion anyway. Problem is that we don;t have quality enough (anymore), but that's clear. We lack some key attributes to deploy a certain system. We have a bit of all, but just not enough. Most of our players are needing to much time on the ball to controll it. And we don't have wingers who can run at players, go past them and cross it. Our defence is also slow, so it is natural that they sit deep against our own box certainly when we're playing on a larger pitch. Sort the defence out and press the opposition on their half and not ours. Put Gerrrard close to Torres, because he's the only one who can launch him in an instant second. Put Mereiles in CM with the approval to attack. Kuyt on the right would be no problem because his lack of pace wouldn't be restricting him anymore. And maybe Johnson would improve as well, but I prefer Kelly there coz Johnson can't defend. Left side is a serous problem though. My first choice would be Aurelio as left back, but he's never fit. Left midfield i honestly wouldn't know who to put there. Jova and Cole haven't got the pace. Cole keeps crowling inside there for not using the width of the pitch and allowing the opposition to make it narrow.
