It's the whole Torres at Chelsea thing again,

He needs the ball to his feet quickly, not the slow moving attack we have at the moment. I really think the reason we're not creating anything is not because Wessi is not playing or anything like that. It's purely that we're so drilled into playing a certain way, so rigid that there's no real option for creativity. It's like it's been coached out of them.
