Which part in particular?
Our style or the reliance upon a specific type of Cf to make it work?
Your thoughts on our style becoming inhibiting, and generally what you make of our attacking play.
Essentially the style inhibits because it requires such a precise specialisation to work effectively.
It won't work properly without a Giroud type at CF, and it likewise requires ball players to play off him around zone14.
Because of the reliance on that pattern the midfield essentially becomes the attack, and the attack supplements/supports the midfield = IMO the roles are back to front.
As an attacking style it's entertaining to watch but because it is so specific and 1 dimensional IMO it struggles to be effective against both any team that is organised & disciplined in defence, or any team that is of like quality, because it relies heavily upon the technical quality to create scoring opportunities.
Lastly because we have ball players getting into better created scoring positions we are not so efficient at converting those opportunities as if we had a forward / goal scorer in those same opportunities.
