Some good points in there.  Thought the focus on a central defender bringing the ball out was a bit odd, that's not a massively difficult thing to defend against if you get your screening in midfield right.  Interesting in each of those three photos where we are supposed to be pressing in midfield Lia is in space away from his man!  Louis is going to be a big loss, it may mean we need to play shermy just to get the attacking outlet.

Also, made me think, under Merrick we do play much more along the deck etc but it can all get very ugly/scrappy.  Still the best way for us to win against teams with "better" squads

Yeah. In both games Burns has blocked off their left CB. What that does is ensure the opposition does down their right channel, so once we win possession, there should be more space open for Fenton to attack their left side.
