In my opinion he’s trying to transition it. If you look at the first thing he did when he came in he brought Doucoure in as a hybrid 10/midfielder - meant we often had a man extra an in the centre. Hes tried to move away from that and play with a double pivot, with 4 in front.
I agree I’ve been saying since the season began the back four are playing higher, I suspect thats to support the double pivot. While Tim for what he gives at home, struggles in games were he has to be more disciplined at away. Overall I think we’re a man down in midfield but that’s intended as we try to move on from Doucoure.
Circumstances haven’t helped - the injuries at the back have been rancid and impactful. All fit though do we shore it up, last two games we’ve been far more creative and clinical.
