That's because you elect to forget what I have posted about consistently about the need for constant evolution and adding more strings to what we already have because I kicked off about us ditching so much of what made us successful trying to go tappy crappy and overplay like the City side whose arse we handed to them playing our brand of football
I was kicking off not because I have ever though that was the only way to play, but because we needed to keep and further develop our ability to be direct whilst adding more ability to unlock teams in different ways through possession. Having that ability to be direct and go middle to top or defence to top to release a player to score in a single pass or 2 or 3 passes through releasing another player who will be in a position to assist out of absolutely nowhere when you have as much possession as we have and have been moving the opposition in different ways trying to pass through is absolutely priceless and another of many things I said City needed to add to their game to get back ahead of us that Guardiola did add to their game this season, they scored a few crucial goals like that
