Also, Gus's article in no-way suggests we're signing another player, just highlighting that his team have improved and evolved:

  1. Gus feels that his side have developed another dimension to their game.

    [*]We see players who have been with us for a couple of years and they are totally different players.

    [*]last season when teams were pressing us high up the pitch. We have been working on that and tonight we did things very well.

    [*]Now teams have got to be careful because we have another option in playing long. There are big decisions for the opposition.

Bruno & Bridge were pressing quite high up the field which then gave Buckley & LuaLua the chance to run onto balls. Toby is also fairly quick. As CMS has been injured we haven't been able to see him take advantage of this yet.

There were a number of times last season we should have mixed it up a bit. Look at the Burnley game when we had no choice but to play it long - we almost snatched a draw and had the best of play. Teams are wise to us now. We are not Spain, so should have this in our armoury particularly when we are under pressure. If it is the exception rather than the rule, i cannot see a problem.
