We either need to change tactics from the counter attack style or find some really good midfielders.

We're not even really playing counter attacking soccer. We just have the possession numbers of a team that is.
We try to slow it down and hold possession more often than countering but don't have the midfielders it seems to pull it off.

I'm not trying to be negative because it was clear from the beginning that to play a more possession based attack was going to be a stretch with our player pool. An actual "bunker and counter" approach is more how we've gotten some good results in the past against top sides.


Klinnsman is kind of between a rock and hard place in this regard.
