All seems a bit knee jerk to me.
Kane and Son were DEADLY before Kane's injury and we mostly played the diamond formation - the issue is he's been rushed back and ruined the flow of a team that were winning without him. I also think Dele being out is also hindering our overall play more so.
I don't mind the diamond formation, I just don't like playing it with the personnel we have to offer. We don't have a decent defensive midfielder. We miss Dele, who's perfect for it. Eriksen is off form and Sissoko vacates midfield more often than not to babysit whoever plays right back.
The formation itself offers no protection to our defence because Winks is dragged all over the place being a one man midfield, busier than a cucumber in a womens prison. We've become predictable due to our lack of options and good coaches being able to see that midfield and behind our full backs are a weakness.
