Evolution wise, the obvious thing to do is to bring in the far more technically gifted next gen box to box players, who can all play the medium to long balls over the top and on the deck and the switches to release our full backs and forwards, all have a better shorter passing game than most of our current mids, all are very tactically aware and astute and exceptional in their reading of the game, positioning, pressing and counter pressing, and all have goals and assists in them too
Get 2 of those 3 bets in class generational midfield talents and put them in our midfield and support them into it with players with the experience nd know how of Hendo and Thiago for the long term and with our keeper, defence and forwards, what a fucking team you have, a team that can do everything, a team built to be able to test and stretch and beat teams in every possible and imaginable way.
Outplay, outpass, play short, play direct, keep the ball in the tightest of areas supremely well, out press and counter press, outrun, out muscle, outfight every single opposition side of every possible kind of approach
