  Raymond Fox in Mykolenko sets Premier League season-high with seven tackles at Tottenham as Moyes applauds display
• Raymond, in a fluid system he doesn\'t need to be in two places at once. The idea is if we can get an overload on his side, one of the other players drops in. It can be the left centre back of midfielder- Garner being the most obvious. But we don\'t tend to operate that system because to be blunt, Myko offers so little in attack it\'s barely worth bothering with.rnrnThat then tends to set our style of play, which is generally a low block. Earlier in the season, with a bit of pace and penetration up front with Ndiaye and George, we\'d play fast transition.

• Problem is that he\'s years behind the curve for what a top level modern day full back should be and that is a real issue for the team as a whole. Jack Grealish is exactly the type of player that needs a good overlapping full back to lay off to and he doesn\'t have that. ...
