Passing the ball around to try and pull one of the opposition to step out of their defensive shape is a lot more boring IMO and definitely less effective unless you have great players to implement it.
Peps football with his Barcelona team was spectacular.
It then became “The Swansea Way” and tried countless times with varying success.
In the few games that we’ve played, I’ve not noticed any players making a run or even offering themselves for a throw in.
In my mind it’s destined to fail and quickly.
Mainly down to not having the players to carry it out but also how one dimensional it is.
To me, BBM is going to go the same way as Trollope.
He can stick to his philosophy as much as he wants…but it’s not going to get us anywhere.
Obviously, I’d love to be eating humble pie and will be delighted to acknowledge how full of shit and clueless I am.
Just my thoughts, but as things stand…it’s going to be a season to forget.
There is the caveat of new players that we bring in could change things.
Right now though I’m as optimistic as the Osman, Hibbitt, Neal time.
