This style thing is bollocks anyway. Just seen tonight’s MNF analysis and how high Forest were with ‘progressive’ metrics only for Gary O’Neil to call it out and say useless if you concede from every free kick and corner!
Eddie Howe is lauded for his ‘progressive’ football. That’s bollocks - long direct balls - win 2 nd balls - dark arts - rigid structure - fast wingers - massive centre halves and centre forward.
Irola - long balls and energetic press. Reset and time waste to get in shape - go again.
Arsenal- a posh Stoke- elite set pieces and patterns of play to get corners or free kicks from wide areas.
Pep has so much to answer for!
Ange - if he’d have had a pre season and we were aligned then he’d have had a chance - his 3 at the back really pissed me off as it just seemed lip service to his pass forward at all times football.
Dyche loves a good winger. He will love Anderson and Dominguez - and Yates. He will also stop MGW pissing about in the wrong areas of the pitch. He will get CHO to f*****g cross the ball. I’m also expecting a bit more patience from fans too.
