We've been successful this term with the CM and DM holding shape behind the front 4, letting them make
the dangerous penetrating runs in the final 3rd, and the CM / DM circulating just the ball and facilitating that movement in front of them.
Indeed, Alexis went on a good scoring
run at the end of last season, with his
runs from the right far more
dangerous and
penetrating, scoring against Crystal Palace, Norwich, West Ham, Watford and Manchester City.
