It is true you get more space in the Premiership, but only when passing the ball along the back and in defensive midfield, as soon as the ball moves into dangerous position or into the final third you are closed down at 100mph as Top flight points out. Which is why the quality needs to be much better and also pace is very important so you can beat you men and also get them on counter attack. West Ham were good at this last season with Etherington, Bennayoun, Reo-coker etc all able to break away quickly from midfield.
I also think the wide positions will be very important for us because it will stretch the game and hopefully give us more space for the strikers etc.
