Hi all,

I'm having trouble recreating the way Newcastle play under Rafa and getting successful results. I was wondering if anybody else is succeeding?

Newcastle seem to be playing a wide 4-4-1-1 with lots of crosses going in the box, and are dominating set peices. There are a couple of places I'm having trouble here.

1. The relationship between the AMC and ST, I have played about with roles but I can't really find a balance while getting a forward who still leads the line and holds up the play
2. Wingers I can't get the wingers (ie Ritchie and Atsu) to perform the crosses they need to. The full backs seem to be providing the crosses instead. Ritchie isn't quite working I have set him as a WM(A.) with stay wider (team has possession), cut inside (on the ball), and cross more often. Wide formations don't tend to be working to well this ME or is that just me?
