Hahaha he’s football style is very archaic and physical, indeed. I was joking with a friend that even his 3 strikers he had on the books last season were basically a replica of each other (Vokes, Barnes & Wood) and he’s playing 2 of them together this season.
I don’t really begrudge them their EPL spot or their style. Playing teams of different or varying styles adds to the appeal of the league. Or maybe it doesn’t. I don’t really know.
Guess he has to do what’s best to survive but there’s a few managers out there who could probably try and instill a style more pleasing on the eye, whilst remaining in the EPL. Doubt their owners would be brave enough to try it though because it could go horribly wrong, and they’d need to invest a bit as their players also seem ill-suited to a different style. I don’t recall much, but what’s their net spent been like for the past 3-5 years?
