I think it also relies on having top players (relative to the level) and the opposition being suseptible to it's strengths.I don’t think that’s the case. I just think his system relies on specific full backs playing and being on top of their game, and having an in from central midfield. Both of those things have been lacking of late.
I do think a few of them have a weak belly. Not many you’d throw the armband too is there.
The PL is a whole different ball game. You can't have one game plan, you need a few - often in the one game. When Angeball is going well, it's devastating. He needs a solution for when it's not working or for the opposition have worked it - transition to something else, make the opposition react, then use Angeball again and keep the opposition guessing.
This is new territory for Ange. We're invested in the project - it needs resilience to keep it evolving.
Start of the season we'd have all been happy, and probably a bit surprised with 5th or 6th. The early season skewed our reality. But it also showed what can happen.
