Third time this season we have shown too much respect

Man city Arsenal and Spurs and all kicked our arse because we try to sit back instead of have a go. We play two up front but play a formation that gives them no supply. The number of times horse and Morison received balls out wide- not really where we want to see them. Confused that our leader spends money on two young wingers and then decides to play the s**tty diamond formation.
