Its not the players though its the managers, why?
If you look at Liverpool gengenpress is basically a religion now because Klopp sold it to the board and the players, same as City Tiki taka is the same at City.
This men have the tactical nous and also the charisma to carry out their vision....the players are a group of individuals who would follow a manager if they're impressed, of course you'll have opposition among them and some who are unsuitable for your football....its up to you to systematically get rid, to achieve that you'll need to be clever and produce result as well, Pep could from the get go due to his status in the game, but Klopp couldn't straight away, he had the likes of Sturridge, Clyne and Benteke initially but got rid over time, it wouldn't be an easy job as the mess of the previous managers have been piling up.
