Sounds good, but do our CBs have the pace to deal with a high line?
Upson's positional sense is good enough to cope with lack of pace. Gordon's...well, I don't think he'll be first choice next year.

What on earth does that mean?
How do you work that out? Short passing game with space being made to release the occasional long ball to a player, normally on the wing. Very little actual hoofing, more a long ball to a player. When did a British team play that way, Premier League teams apart? It's not always working but I'm sure hit and hope is not the plan as was the British way imo.
To my eyes it's taking Poyet's style of football one step further. I don't think Gus thought we had the players to play his style quickly. He may yet be proved right but Oscar is giving it a go and trusting the players.
I think the return of Bridcutt will enable Andrews to get further forward and press the opposition back further as he is a ball winner and to do that in or around their box will prove very effective, with Bridcutt breaking up the breakaways
Who makes way for Andrews then?
