He also won’t change the shape regardless of the score line. It’s always 433, with a static midfield. The players know they’re not going to score, which is also a massive issue. They’ve got no idea how to break sides down
From what i have seen of us, it looks over coached, players with a job to do and a position to stand in, the ball goes inside when it has to etc. There's hardly any flair or risk taking in the right areas. It looks like a group of inexperienced coaches who are implementing their philosophy from the book, rather that taking the bits that they need and then adding their own philosophy, character, style etc .
