Song at the base of the Diamond is better than Noble and Noble does not have the pace to play the sides. Against Man City did not matter as we were mostly defending (apparently the highest percentage of long balls we have played this year) but does matter when he has to get up and down the pitch. I believe that the midfield today are the 4 strongest players for the Diamond system. As for Valencia I would like to see him and Sakho again but when we played Villa and they sat in the game was crying out for AC. Personally would like to see the pace of Sakho/Valencia more away from home. I still believe it was more a case of players not performing as expected today more than anything.
