When did he play down the middle?
If he scored 13 last season and played out wide most the season.. Logic tells you that he may get more playing centrally... Never happened and now he's off by the looks of it after a poor start
Are we actually discussing whether we're better than last season? We've got 9 more points and have scored 10 more goals and conceded 3 less than at this stage last season.
I do, but mcfadzean has played over 100 games there... I watch mcfadzean he's more a leader, reads the tackles better and is better with his feet in terms of distribution
Going back to the OP, on the whole the tactics are fine. The biggest problem we have is going ahead and becoming a bit more protectionist on our lead rather than continuing to do what got us the lead in the first place. On too many occasions MR has been slow to react to changes in the way the game is going to regain the upper hand. We've also missed a lot of very good chances. Whether we seem to struggle a bit more against the poorer sides is due to them giving us less space etc is a talking point.

I don't think the tactics are that far off, we created numerous chances which drew 2-3 good aves from their keeper on Saturday, it was jut one of those days. Could have easily have been 3-0 as it was 1-1.
Eh? A matter of weeks ago, the majority were rightly decrying our away form as we hadn't won away all season in the league. Two 4-1 victories does not a summer make.
