Good post on the game, DLIB. My thoughts of ETH's tactics lately are as follows: we have more control with one fullback tucking into midfield, usually Dalot, and Mazraoui making a back three. But then there is little overlapping out wide from the fullbacks, and the wingers alone provide the width. And this makes us a little predictable.

Zirkzee has shown some flashes in the middle, with some nice layoffs, quick passing, and awareness of who is around him. But to take advantage of him, we need the other attackers to learn tom play off him with more awareness and instinct. When the goals come, it may not be Zirkzee with the goal or even the assist that often, but he will be the one with the clever touch that opens up the final pass.
