    Is it though? The one thing a DF cannot do is get the coach to change his style or system. That is absolutely a non-starter. The style issue comes when the manager is chosen - once that happens, any player purchased must align with the manager's wants and needs....

    It's always the manager's fault when things go wrong but the "natural" abilities of a player or two (and apparently willfully ignoring the "tactics/setup") when they go right. Got it!

    Reason why I think we need to continue with 3 at the back...

    Suggest you do a course in inferential statistics... then we can talk about the difference between true scientific statistical significance and "it looks very significant to me"....

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Seeing as none of them (especially Jol and Poch) were managers but head coaches and we saw Poch's ability to spot players with purchases of Ndombele and Lo Celso... maybe one could also say... Who knew?.... Good managers look good when they have/find good players

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Though I guess it doesn't do much harm to have the likes of Berbatov, Keane, Modric, Bale, VDV, King, and a whole team of stars under Poch led by one the very best strikers in the history of the premiership...

    It may not be different but I suspect (or at least hope) that it will be better since - at least at the moment - Gallagher is a massive improvement miles on both Bergvall and Sarr... Obviously the utopia will be a defensive midfielder with excellent distribution ala Hjulmand... but we don't...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    So let us look at this... These are last season's EPL statistics when either, both or none of Romero and Micky played: You would expect that our best defensive performance would be when both played, followed by when one and worst with none. It does not follow that pattern. The only...

    Precisely! maybe I was not clear... but hopefully playing Gallagher next to Paulinha will still retain a decent level of defensive solidity (reasonably similar to what Bentancur has provided) but - critically - improve our progressive ability.
