Slow Possession based v attacking football. McInnes prematch "Having ball carriers has always been really important to me in my squads. I want players with that confidence, the kind of swagger that says, "Give me the ball and let me show you what I can do. I'm the guy here." I don't want wide players who just want to wipe their brow, avoid mistakes, pass the ball back and be negative.
I need wide players to back themselves, show conviction and have confidence, all while working within a team shape". Despite the chances missed, if this is what we have to look forward to I'll take it. We could have exciting times ahead.

Players need to calm down in the final third (especially Gas). The lack of composure is slightly concerning. Although at the start of the season we looked slow and couldn't create, therefore struggling to score. We are now creating loads, but just struggling to find the net.
Hopefully, with wins comes confidence and with confidence comes better finishing. We're in a much better place now than a few weeks ago. It's amazing what a few wins does.
