Coventry City's style of play has been the subject of several questions sent in via our Sky Blues Ask Me Anything form, with some of you wondering whether Frank Lampard will adjust it this season as a result of facing higher-level opposition.
Coventry's shape under Lampard is never fixed and that tactical flexibility is going to be a major theme of their Premier League return.
We saw it immediately against Manchester City, when Lampard switched to a back five rather than the usual back four that served them so well in the Championship.
It wasn't a one‑off. Even when he first arrived, Lampard wasn't afraid to load the defensive line, and against elite sides who dominate the ball, that compactness becomes a necessity.
Yes, it limits your attacking options, but in this league, sometimes that is the difference between leaving with a point and leaving with nothing.
