Not sure the shape suits us. Trying to do the man city thing if pushing a defender into midfield. Ended up with a back 3 in possession with TAA often the most central of midfielders. It meant we had Gallagher, Henderson, TAA and Madders often in a congested middle of the pitch. It would have been worse with Kane, as Watkins at least stayed high. Neither wide defender pushing on, meaning lack of overlaps, etc to create width and space for the two wide players. Walker and Akanji are always bombing on even when Stones has stepped into the midfield.
