Not when Man City don't lose there isn't, two horse race.

Two massive fixtures coming too early for an unsettled side.  Away to City and Watford are two fixtures you have to pick up points in but this season it wasn't to be, whether lack of quality or too many new faces etc. Fixture list wasn't kind.

Need to keep a settled side and go again next year.

Trending is the in phrase at the moment across social media and I guess we can nick it and apply it to CF if we want to...

From my point of view it is good to see a tactical system emerge to challenge the status quo of the last ten or so years, whereas the go to system has always been FAS for teams that had a top class target man, it is good to see some of you moving over to ISF if you have a top class centre forward, and as with opponents that use FAS teams will need to adopt to cope with opponents that use ISF.

Positionally an AM interacts directly with a TM and a CC interacts directly with a CF so take from that what you will.

Thanks for this Paul. Am I correct in saying therefore that a CF will be unmarked if a team plays CL and CR? Does one of the CB's not pick up the CF - IRL tends to be one might look to mark and the other sweeps behind to pick up others?

true Ben, but with ISF you also have to mark the ST and the S2 so the CF tends to be unmarked some of the time.
