Bingo, this is the big item and in hindsight it's logical
- At slightly lower levels, teams/players aren't as clinical, at the very top level, high quality chances are punished.
- Two other issues for me, system isn't designed to get best out of skill difference between us and lower level opposition (i.e. against a Leicester, Ipswich, etc. you don't need a magic system, you have better players, the system should allow those better players to make the difference, not rely on crazy intensity or outrun tactics). Second is the system doesn't know how to defend, 2nd half of season there have been some concessions (FB's staying back, 2 more defensive players in middle, not as aggressive a press), but being less attacking doesn't automatically mean you are a better defensive team, it's still too easy to play against us.
Results say the same thing time and time again, Ange isn't the answer
