We see you've already got the correct scoreline. 
It is so obvious that our available players are not fit for the system we are playing. I look it at with the lack of movement and players on the third line. You see it as stagnant in the second line. Andy sees weakness on the side of the pitch.
And guess what? We are all right. The system is not working and it has to be changed. Stubbornness will take us nowhere.
Yeah, it's a nice combo of problems, and we're not talking Value Meal here. We need better movement from the forwards and midfielders, along with better flank action which obviously comes down to what sort of backs we have. I just think three DM's is not going to work with our backs, so might as well use only two of them with four attackers in front. Worth a try; Melo and Soaker together isn't weak, or anything.
For me the most frightening thing is the ease our opponents play against each us. It's like all the managers we've faced so far are well aware on how to paralyze us and take the game to us. They know where to disable our engine, they know how to move the ball so we could only chase and they know how to threaten us. And chasing balls with being threatened exhausts a team much faster.
The second annoying thing I see is that when we have possession we simply lack ideas or tactical know how on what to do with the ball.

The problem is the strikers are not able to get involved with play like Alex, the movement in midfield is poor as these three said players (Poulsen, Melo, Sissoko) are defensive midfielders, and we don't have an outlet out right. This is the problem with the three DM system -- unless you have quite inventive players in front of them, it won't work. It doesn't work for us with two one-dimensional forwards, leaving Diego by himself. We need more outlets, more invention, more intelligent team movement.
With the diamond midfield wide strength must be compensated for with fullback presence, movement by the non-holding midfielders, and the forward line. Milan, the fags, were successful because they had Kaka, Seedorf and Sheva running in front of Pirlo, all players who have excellent movement and individual skills. Looking at Amauri, Yak, and our three DM's, it's quite a difference.
