Exactly this. Man City have the kind of players to break down heavy defences, and Saiz did that for us to an extent at our level. Our dominance has been a bit of a hindrance I think. Most of the chances we rack up statistically, arent really chances at all, they're snatched attempts to shoot through 10 players. We either get those players (I'm not sure we have any at u23), or we adjust.
