Echo the apology.
I'm really interested in this too.
Sometimes we want to buld up slowly, move the opposition about, draw them out, and then hit them like lightening when they are caught venturing forward.
On topic - one thing to consider is that if you have been successful, teams will now be sitting deeper. There will be less space for your wingbacks to get in behind the defence. Opposition full backs will be set more defensively. They will be more focused on stopping those crosses.
In such circumstances I try to be less gung ho and more variable in my attack. Give the opposition all kinds of problems.
drop the mentality and tempo a notch or two
press a bit less to draw them out - let their non-creative players have the ball a bit to see what trouble they get into with it - set pressing traps
more vertical movement between the lines - forwards dropping/late runs from midfield or an inverted wingback - traits like gets in opposition area/arrives late in opposition area
roles that roam
more movement horizontally - into channels - run wide with ball - roles that move wide (mezzala/carrilero) can be great for creating overloads to give their fullbacks a headache and give your wingbacks a passing option when the cross is just not on
more creative freedom - let the flair breathe
try a quick shift to a role that does the opposite thing - WB to IWB - IW to W - or just swap round the mentalities on the flanks/through the centre
In short. Make their heads spin.
