Yes, we've heard a lot about how the EU 'must stick to the rules'. However, when the rules are preventing you from achieving what you want, you can always change them! Or perhaps, a more practical approach would be to 'interpret' them.

You did not ask me how I would negotiate, you described how I would do so incompetently. There have only been four hours of negotiations this year between David Davis and his opposite number. I suggest that if you or I did one day of negotiating, we would have doubled his output. A quick win.
The main failure by the Government has not been to decide its position before invoking Article 50. That puts it at a disadvantage timewise.
