That comparison to Bielsa feels very accurate. It’s fine for Ange to say, this is how we play (mate), under me Mt teams always play energetic attacking football, and after morihno and conte it’s great to see! But I do think he needs to accept plan B has it’s place. Klopp has Liverpool play attacking football, but recognises at 10, and 9 men, plan b of compact and tight with salah to run on to balls on the break, is more likely to succeed against decent opposition. We could have done similar trying to suck Chelsea forward and leave space for Son to run in. However, I doubt a point salvaged would make much difference come the end of the season so if he felt there was more to learn from watching the 9 play ange ball and lose 3-0 then fine. Dier showed enough to give some hope. I’d love to see him refind the form he had under Poch.
With vdv and cuti out he’s going to get some starts, cometh the hour Eric, what are you going to do?
