So far we've not seen a huge advancement in how we play. We are still very similar in our approach, perhaps a little better drilled and with a superior striker but the system is still the same; if not even a little more rigid (we seem to have lost a touch of excitement with Bolasie gone).

The Souare injury looks like it will affect us more than people expect, the weaknesses with the squad depth still remain from last year. We are still carrying a few players in the first team that are bottom 3rd of the league quality; Ward, Ledley, Kelly and most likely Delaney now at 35.
