At our best we out played city and pep at the Etihad Last season (esp that first half in the league)
We looked well drilled and coached for that game
Likewise our tactic against Liverpool at home worked well but defensive issues allowed an equaliser at home
Ole has planned well against the likes of pep,Jose and Klopp and has shown he's not just some guy that relies on one piece of brilliance
But it we are going that way, then at the same time we can say his losses are due to individual errors
The set piece goals we conceded a few days ago are avoided by our players doing better in a situation / not making a mistake rather than a tactical change
Same against arsenal, pogbas mistake leads to the penalty and goal that results in us losing
Individual mistakes Vs spurs leads to us conceding quite a bit
And in the opposite way you can see what ole is trying to achieve with our team. The way we played vs PSG both games. We won the first game (and nearly didn't because of an own goal from a set piece, again avoidable but thanks to an Individual mistake)
The second game we were the better team and missed so many chances to take the lead and then conceded from a set piece
The one thing ole needs to work on is defending set pieces as we are conceding too many
But our overall play in games, it's quite obvious ole wants us to press when we don't have the ball, counter when we win the ball back, but if that's not possible then to move the ball quick like the United team did under Fergie
We do need better individuals in positions of course, but a point you made to
@Number TwentyFive
about needing a better squad to implement a style, it's no coincidence when pep came in he didn't win the league his first season but did after pretty much overhauling his entire defence and goalkeeper (twice)
Pep has had the luxury of getting a keeper in, seeing it not work and then within a year or two replacing him with a much better but more expensive keeper
Liverpool and Klopp are the same with karius and then allison
It's one thing having a style in mind but you also need players who can carry it out.
Everybody here expects every ole signing to be a hit whereas pep has had the fortune of buying and buying expensive cbs until it's right and fits the style he wants
Klopp less so but he's been managing at the top level much longer than ole and is no doubt a better coach, but he still needed better players to take his squad and team to the next level (he was being questioned until he got vvd and made that cl final and built on from that after a karius horror show)
