If it’s merely a case of attacking teams more why have we had 21 years outside the top league?
Why didn’t the other managers realise that all you need to do is attack teams and the results follow?
How did Sabri achieve our 4th best finish in those 21 years?
Why haven’t the other managers, who presumably played the ‘correct’ style of football done as well as Sabri?
It isn’t that simple.
The ‘style of play’ is one of those excuses which fans use to justify wanting rid of a manager.
Sabri - too defensive
MoN - too hoofball and outdated
Karanka - too much boring possession
Warburton - too gung ho and naive
Etc etc
None of them were sacked because of their style of play. Results are everything.
If Sabri is replaced it will be because of results, not style of play.
This is one of the funniest things I have read in a while.
Of course it is the style of play.
The bigger issue is that it is our only style of play.
Teams know how to play against us and we don’t have an alternative.
This is down to the manager.
Our style of play was working for a while. Problem is teams found a way of bettering it and we have no reply. Do we have a better team than Barnsley and qpr.... yes. Therefore it is the set up and style of play that is the issue. We have to have alternative so teams don’t know how we will play.
Last season we were better that Millwall, Barnsley, Stoke and Charlton to name a few yet they still made us look very poor.
Keep believing that sabri is great though maybe everything will be ok
