Speaking to Stadium Astro, as quoted by the Metro, Abraham gave this response when asked if the team needed to change its style: “Yeah, of course it’s fair.

“We know that ourselves, we throw so many bodies forward. “We’re very vulnerable when we lose the ball higher up the pitch and that’s something we need to improve on. We’re still a young, learning team.

“If we want to be the best, if we want to win titles and leagues that’s something we’ll have to manage.”
