Anyone else feel like Pelligrino was told he needed to win that game with the abrupt change of style and influential subs...?

Have to say this has been Much, much better today despite what people will say. We should stick with this formation with just lemina in defensive midfield and Romeu dropped for boufal or Redmond.

Tell you what that better have been a penalty, because if Tadic has thrown himself to the floor there he is an utter ****.

What I can say is that at least this season he's TRIED to come out and collect the ball more...as you say he just needs to relax and get some confidence back so that it comes off.
That right there will only make his teammates lose confidence in him...

Much, much better. Still haven't quite dropped that mentality of passing back first but hopefully it goes with time.

Already looks very different to anything we've played all season. Midfield is very fluid with apparently no set positions - Tadic and Davis have popped up all over the midfield left right and centre, as well as one of Romeu and Lemina with the other one sitting back.

It's bizarre, Gabbiadini came in and struck up an instant understanding with Tadic who seemed to relish having a striker making intelligent runs and played much more incisive passes than he had all season because of it - then it was almost as if Puel told him to reign it in. Sure he probably gave the ball away more times than he had done, but he was also creating goals.
