Agreed. TOF became a poor man's Pep and will never change back to his winning style. We'd have been much better off with the real thing. Pep outstripped TOF's 'achievements' in Europe alone in his first season as Barcelona manager. He believes in possession with purpose, unlike TOF's stale sideways football. His trophy count alone makes him better than what we have. It'll be sad to see Pep win it all with Citeh while we're stick with this ball and chain fraud.Bradywasking wrote:Watching the game on Saturday made me realise again what a crime is was/is that Arsenal made no attempt to get Pep.. If Wenger cares about Arsenal then he should have realised an opportunity and said "I'm finished in May" paving the way for a manager I believe was born to manage our club.. Pep has his critics and one point was always that he walked into ready made teams.Well on Saturday he was passionate but his head was ruling his heart and his joy was evenly matched by his frustration when City lost possession carelessly.. He is a winner and I wonder if he could have been ours....
Didn't we play 3-5-2 under Rioch and for a time under TOF?postmanPat91 wrote:A bit surprised Wenger has never toyed with a 3-5-2 to be honest. He doesn't give a fuck about our fullbacks bombing forward anyway so play 3 at the back, pack the midfield with tippy-tappers galore, and Lucas 'Raúl' Perez up top with the ear-cupper. Simples
I agree that this formation should suit us better, packing the midfield, as TOF likes, but with an extra striker and defender. Sounds too good for TOF to even consider
------------------------ Cech
-------- Holding - Mustafi - Koscielny
Bellerin ------------------------------- Monreal
--------------- Cazorla - Xhaka
------------------------ Ozil
----------------- Perez - Giroud
Either way, it can't be any worse than the dogshite served up so far this season.
