Good article to be honest.
If you watched us under McKenna, you'll have seen over his tenure is fluidity and flexibility of shape and structure with and without the ball constantly. The RM dropping to create a RWB was something we used often in the PL to create a 5-2-2-1, and is a smart play away from home against strong sides, suspect the Norwich display will be the same blueprint for Southampton away.
Shows again the nonsense we heard about one dimensional McKenna at times as nothing more than laughable, the man is an absolute genius. |  | |  |

Agreed, think it is an excellent piece and illustrated the fluidity of our set-up and structure. He is a genius and we are unbelievably lucky to have him as our leader.
Wonder if they'll name the new training centre after him, they should do!! |  | | |

To be honest, I'm a simple chap and I didn't really understand it. We scored more goals than them. |  | | |

That’s a long way from good, it’s just a journal of what happened, very little actual analysis of how and why. |  | | |

Moreover, for me, it's just a paean of how marvellous and technical Clement and Norwich were in the face of a seemingly mere long-ball and catch-them-on-the-break team. Spends a lot of time talking about how their elaborate tactics overcome ours, very little dwelling on why it was so ineffective for them.
To be fair, it's written by a Norwich fan, so is going to reflect their perspective. |  |

I thought we were generally poor with the ball in the derby to be fair and Norwich much better in possession, but we got it tactically spot on and still had the best 5 chances of the game.
The last thing we wanted was for it to be a basketball match and play to Norwich's strength of fast transitions.
Was kind of a reverse of the previous 0-1 game at Carrow Road where we had 65% of the play, but they looked more dangerous and we created nothing. |  | | |

I remember an academy coach telling me that they also look out for players who can handle and implement quite technical instructions /training routines at an early age. |  | | |

"Ipswich were better organised, pressed smarter, exploited Norwich’s weak areas, and controlled the decisive moments of the match." |  |

They weren't a good opposition, they were a sh!te opposition, just like they've always been, and just like they always will be. |  |

That's a hell of a long winded way of saying what Johnny Giles then of the all conquering Leeds U side back in the day once quoted when asked a particular question " the best team usually wins ". |  | | |

Nice to see it showing how dominant we were with xG even without the penalty much higher, and defending their crosses very effectively. Would have been nice to see how our crosses data compared but that dominance reflects my feelings of the game. Nodge had plenty of possession but without any threat, we defended their crosses very effectively and we easily could have scored more.
As far as formations are concerned, he appears to have taken snapshots of moments in play and expressed it as a formation. Certainly our formation is very fluid but I wouldn't say at any time we were playing against a team in a 2-2-6 formation. In fact, I think that had we been we would have exposed that space very effectively. |  |
