The Case for the Attacking play

Could not agree more especially the bolded bit. The game i have played, worked in ,and spent a fortune travelling around in has as you say become a hard watch.Sometimes i really do wish i could switch it off alltogether.

Just go down a level; follow the U21s, or a local non-league team. It's miles better football, better for you, and beer in the stands!

I think the case was made today. We controlled the ball for first 65 mins, we controlled the game for first 65 mins. All our defence looked good and in control. This squad is designed to have the ball.

Can’t speak for anyone else, but as a fan I’m never confident if we don’t have the ball. The low block and counter attack plan works well during games but using it as a starting point and the main strategy isn’t conducive to long term success n my opinion.

If we stay up (and it is still a big if) it looks as though we have a manager aligned with the club’s history and footballing ethos

Absolutely. Did anyone become a fan watching us not control a game, or at least play the right way?
 
All three starters did well and worked their arses off, still just lacking the quality/decision making at times

Tel put in a wonderful cross for the goal, then followed it up by mucking up 2/3 easier cutbacks.

It's the one thing I'll never understand - what did TF show that he could handle a squad with prima Donna's that want the ball.

De Zerbi hasn't done anything revolutionary other than pass and move, and press as a unit.

I remember in the reverse fixture we had that stupid box of 4 players and Villa kept playing through it. No box today, just pressure and turnovers
