We struggle a bit with the press

But watching the Southampton match they were losing faith in it and knackered in the second half.

Very hard to press at that intensity for 90minutes.

The key is to not give it away too easily (which a few have been guilty of) particularly around our area. And to keep things tight in the first half.

Intriguing watching Sheffield United highlights. Fleck played further back in the first half, they were less threatening - then pushed up in the second to hurt them.

It's that game management we've been a bit patchy at. When we're on the back foot we need to strike a balance between flair and keeping it tight. When we're fluid it's clear we can trouble any side in the division. It's the transitions we need to manage better. Same was true to an extent last year, need the team to learn quickly again.
