As for the system not working, we are 20 places higher than when Warnock came in, after 2 seasons, - it’s worked.
If we’d continued trying to play the short passing style we’d be in league 1 now.
We are still higher in the league than was predicted in the summer, so to say it’s not working isn’t right. 2 sides below us who are ‘footballing’ teams - with better players than us.
Joe Allen isn’t a ‘tweak’ he’s a player who is used to a completely different style to what we play.
He’s got players around him in Clucas and Woods who are used to that system and thenWilliams in defender, who he’s played with hundreds of times.
If he can’t make it work there then he won’t here.
You really think he’d see the ball again after playing short balls to Artur, Morrison,Patterson, Peltier, Gunnar, Bamba etc..
Or are you thinking of giving up this season and building a different system for the next year or 2.
Also he’s 29 in a few weeks, if you are going to do that then you’d be better off going for someone younger.
It just doesn’t make sense to me .
He’s a great player for Wales, one of our most consistent and has actually had a decent run at Stoke recently, but sorry to say he’d be lost here.
I’d love to back a sensible option to improve us, but can’t see this working. I doubt he be cheap either.
Not that any of this would have the slightest effect on your entrenched opinion that we need to play on the floor at all costs.
