ISL 2020-21, OFC vs HFC talking points: Midfield battle, Roca's approach, Liston's cameo Baxter indicated that the team will move from the 4-2-3-1 to a 4-3-3 shape used during pre-season. “Our possession is a long way from where we want it to be. Tactically the balance was wrong. We ended up being separated in the midfield and attack. We didn’t get enough support up to the front players. On the ball, we weren’t brave in taking responsibilities.“We have changed the shape in training [after HFC game] and I have asked the players to be more relaxed on the ball,” said Baxter.
