Is that really a system limitation or a player suitability one. If I imagine a system that emphasised playing through the middle I don't quite see how the players we have available today would make that work. There are no cute passers, no one who can play through the lines, no one who positions themselves between the lines and no one who can really beat a player.

We saw the same aversion from the centre all season, i've never felt it was coach related. We simply don't have the players to play otherwise.
I think it's both.
Every system has limitations, and that was always the limitation I saw with Brighton.

I'm not saying whether our players can play it or not - I'm genuinely not sure what most of our players can do.
