For me, it's not about low block vs high press, negative vs cavalier, or even the speed of the break out of defence (although that is what I remember most from Rednapp's team, and it's the most exhilarating kind of football to watch). I'm just so sick of seeing us cluelessly knock it from one side of the pitch to the other, hopelessly and without creativity or penetration, against teams who set up to defend against us. A lot of that is about not having the right players - without Dembele's barrelling runs, or Eriksen's intricate passing, we've not been able to have the same impact - but Mourinho didn't address it, and, much as I loved Poch, I saw it a fair bit in his teams (even with Eriksen) in the latter stages of his time with us. Give us a manager who can recruit the players and set the team up to unlock the stubbornest of defences, and I'll support them with all my heart.
