2020/21 Season: Could We See A Change In Playing Style?

[stirred]

To the original question of the thread, it seems some quotes from Lamouchi in an interview with Tails in the athletic may provide the answer:

“It will be a different approach. The approach last season was to play on the transition, to be very compact and defensive. We made some amazing performances with that,” said Lamouchi. “But if we want to be up there, we need to be more consistent and we need to have more quality. That is it.

“In many games, we had the opportunity to finish the opposition off before the final whistle. We need to change the mentality on this. How do we do that? We do it with quality players. That is always the key. Who can make the difference? Quality players can do that. Quality players can be a little bit expensive. But the club have made a big effort and now we should be focussed on this."

So despite that starting off by saying it will be a different approach, through the quirks of his English I read it as saying we need to be better at what we did last year, converting 1-0s into 2-0s, and we do that by having better players. So no fundamental change in style?
