i think essentially we are all talking about the same sort of system but with slightly different terminology and tweaked details, but we expect no traditional centre forward or wingers, width from attackers rather than mids or fullbacks, and a compressed midfield operating narrowly behind the attackers. Finkler will play further forwards than Roly and A-Rod and/or Lia will be DM(s). If we struggle to breakdown tight defences we will bring Watson on to play the traditional 9 role. 

How well it works is probably massively dependent on Kosta and Finkler adjusting to the system (Burns did , Sarpong didn't) and on the quality of defender we can bring in. No point having this fancy midfield if we are conceding heaps and struggling to play out from the back.
