Last Man Standing champion 2019/20
Think he deserves much better from us. I know he was arrogant, ruthless and had his own way of doing things. But he really identified our problems.
DDG - he wanted to sell him and replace him with a ball playing keeper . In reality he was right, DDG is bloody brilliant at shot stopping but very average in distribution and passing.
High pressing and playing out from the back - this was back when people started talking about high pressing and playing out from the back..not many teams were doing it. He brought in blind at CB and made it work ( I slated him for not playing blind in midfield).
Midfield control - how we took control of the game and dominated the opponents. Game at Anfield was fecking brilliant and so many other games. Yes, i understand it was meaningless possession but that was probably due to quality of our players. Could have made it work with better players .
Identifying the talent - he wanted to sign Mane and we called him clueless for chosing mane ahead of Pedro . He was the one who tried Depay in the middle and that's his position now.
Seriously, he got so many things right and how I wish he had stayed and continued the project . While I understand Jose was a better choice that didn't help us in the long run either.
Some of the things we wish now was implemented by him long back. Just shows we need to be patient to implement something .
Anyone else think this way ?
