We'll know by the end of the season whether Ole is the right man to take us forward. That second half was terrible yesterday, we went far too deep, and were lucky to hold on. I don't know the reasons for it, and hope to christ it wasn't planned. I don't want to see us hanging on for dear life against anyone.
Other than that, it couldn't be going any better. |

I could see anyone who came through the Ajax academy being heavily influenced by them, but outside of that it's utter nonsense to suggest just because someone shares a nationality that they don't have their own unique methodology and 'philosophy'. Van Gaal and Cruyff couldn't be more different. Quote:

Anyway, a lot of the 'risk' talk is just cultural differences. People in England can sometimes see holding the ball as cowardly. Other cultures see giving it away needlessly because you haven't got the balls to hold it as cowardly. As usual, the idea is to find the balance. |

When two styles of play are the literal opposite of each other how can you talk about 'The Dutch Style' as some sort of constant? I have news for you, no coach in the world, whether they're from Holland or Timbuktu, wants their players to give the ball away. The amount of risk you're willing to take in pursuit of creating chances and scoring goals vs perceived control through possession however varies massively. Were you watching the same games the rest of us were? It's not £#%&!ing cultural, it was endless cycling of the ball, getting nowhere and no shots on goal. My God. |

Keeping it, being effective with it and adapting your style and risk taking depending on the opposition is a different thing altogether obvs. |

Who knows if that side would have fared any better with a different approach tactically. Or if we needed more quality regardless. |

QED, it had to be the player's fault. Shame he wasn't allowed to buy some new ones. |

City play that style effectively as we all know - I’m not saying it doesn’t work - we all know it can. It didn’t work with our players and our culture. Btw That team were more than capable of slotting villa at home He imposed a radical change on a team and club incapable of responding properly - another 4 years, a new team and a convinced club and support and he might have got there. I’m saying it didn’t work not that it couldn’t. |
