It's a Rooney tactic. One of those comes deep, full back pushes up and deep lying CMs go to full back. Meant to pull them out and mess with their press. Does leave us exposed up front though and reliant on balls over the top to Ebosele. Little bit one dimensional

Sounds complicated to me. If we were a confident passing team, it might work, but struggling like we are, why can't we adopt a more simple approach?

More than one dimensional even I’m sitting here and know exactly what we are going to do. You can’t keep going through one side the other wing is basically redundant

Morrison and Lawrence keep coming deep because Bird and Shinnie can’t do any playmaking. Then they look forward and there’s no one there. No support anywhere near Colin. Forsyth stood in the left wing for no reason because we haven’t dared pass to him. Byrne’s best attribute is bombing on and Ebosele on the same side is stifling that. Rooneyball is aids. Problems at the club or not, this side should be more coherent than this.

Other than Ebosele we look toothless now. Players dropping deep for the ball meaning we have 4 deep midfielders at times and 2 centre backs not willing to carry the ball. Game gone to sleep. 

Absolutely. 6 players in our defensive third and a huge gap to the front players. We need Sibley on to have any thrust from midfield otherwise we just allow teams onto us.

Moving the ball too slowly up the pitch, a lack of movement and an inability to make the ball stick up top. 
 

Feel we lack a real killer passer from defensive midfield who can break their lines in midfield. 
 

I would play Morrison deeper and get Tom on the left as Morrison has been the only one so far who has been able to break their lines.
