An important aspect of that column was his analysis of how to break down low blocks, which has been a key theme this season. "When you decide to play on the counter-attack, you have plenty of space. When you decide to attack [with the ball], you have less. [But] when you play on the counter-attack, the ball belongs to the opponent," he wrote.

Teams played in a completely different way in the first half of the season against us than they did when we were top of the league after half of the season and top of the Champions League after the first part of the season. I can see this now going into this part of this season and we have to find answers to that. Last season one of them was a set-piece, like many teams unlock a low block with set-pieces, and this season we haven't done that yet.
