The system does not necessarily dictate the change in style of play. A lot will be depending on the 3 players in the midfield and how they receive the balls from back and link with the forwards.
You can play long balls with any system it depends on the individuals in place and the instructions they get.
Indeed, hopefully we will use the long balls when we counter attack only and try and keep the possession and play with small and safe paces when we are carefully building up our game.
We should at least have more options, i do not condemn long balls as a swift offensive solution, but we must have an alternative plan to become less predictable,
having many strong and pacy forwards playing wide, gives as more chances to find alternative routes to their box.
In some certain cases our adversaries were holding back with superior numbers and our only chance, was hopeless long balls, now with more forwards in their box, our chances to direct penetration opens and we have more and better alt solutions!
Its a reason to be jubilant, i guess!
It would be wiser to decrease the long balls, because playing with 3 mids its too risky,
if we lose possession, we let them counter attack us easily, abusing their wings.
Our wing backs are not bright cross makers and our creative forwards are good enough, powerful and skillful enough to get the job done when they face a similar quantity of opponents, even Treze will be more useful in their box when he will have 2 players to support him.
Even without the long balls our efficiency would be doubled and since we are not equipped properly, to use them, i think/hope they will be not favored anymore!
And even if our coach is stupid enough to insist on them, we will have an alternative solution for the first time in the last decade!!
