van Gaal had a similar approach...

Anyone remember watching that?
Yes it was boring. Anyone who associates that with possession football needs to watch more football in general. I've said it before, but that would be like me associating Pulis-ball with counter-attacking football. Technically correct, yet deceptive.

I’d say it was possesion football under LVG. But without all of the top quality players required to make it work.

Similar to Pep last year at City. Then break the premiership summer transfer window spending record and hey presto, you’re a genius! :lol:

I'm not saying it wasn't possession football. It was just bad possession football. When I think of possession football I think of other teams that do it well, like Barcelona, and Manchester City (who did it well at flashes last season).
