This, for me, is the single biggest reason why Riza failed and we got relegated. Spent most of the time "playing in boxes", switching formations, and trying to show the world what a progressive coach he was when we should have been going back to basics and doing the simple things right to try and win points.

People can talk about pace or needing players who can do X, Y or Z, but this is the single most important thing we need to address this summer IMO.
