I reiterate City used to play the style Slot is clearly trying to impose
Everything short passes, trying to walk it into the net no shooting from distance taking players in everything trying to pass through but better than we did and quicker than we did with players with better ability to play that way
City don’t use to press all that well, by 2019-20 more teams were playing a low block pressing and counter pressing and counter g against city far better and they had a terrible season by their standards
Guardiola the master of playing that way gave it up and it remains untenable as there are more teams much better at doing what teams did to City that season
It’s why I think Slot is arrogant or misinformed or lacking in knowledge of the history of the Prem and how it’s developed
To think he can achieve success adopting a style the master of which had to bin himself is just staggeringly arrogant
