As importantly the same format where everyone was clear about their role.I believe that's one of the main factors. In our best periods last year, we fielded pretty much the same team in every game in the PL.

See my comments from yesterday
Since we played these cnuts we he not played the same team twice I think
You must realise two things dictate team selection....injuries and objectives.
We were going for the league also safe in the knowledge that CL qualification was a nailed on consolation (hence f*cking off the EL last year). Same team, a single focus = league.
Injuries have largely forced us to change the team (and system) this year. The objective being the league and secondary the CL league group. The other night showed that any hint of doing well in the CL has evaporated as an objective (probably well before we kicked off in Monaco) and all thoughts were focused on the league.
We will have an objective to do well in the EL. 1 because it is a feasible route into the CL and 2 because the PL does look challenging this year. We dont start in the EL until mid feb and the objective will be assessed round by round ( we could have f*cked the league by feb??)
You might not like it. (i dont particuarly) BUT you have to accept it.
Levy likes it, and he likes Poch because he accepts it.

That line-up worries me. All those players in the first 11 (Lloris, Wanyama excepted) are on bad form at the moment.
Totally agree, you need more than Plan A.We also played the same system against West Brom and Bournemouth and didn't create anything, so I think it's reasonable to want to balance that slightly. Something needed to change.
