Precisely! And when we got carded, he would go ultra-conservative and here we’re all scratching our heads why we needed to do that (case in point the red for Sanchez in the Utd game) when we could still get at the opposition.
… cowardly conservative actions, and those parts of one’s personality are hardwired. And that reflects within the squad, and it still unfortunately persists. Hoping Xabi can instill the right mentality.
I ain’t complaining one bit he’s the one replacing Pep 😉🤷🏻♂️
@OliviaBuzaglo He’d be atleast 3x when it comes to Neymar in attack. Clearly lost out to the sentiment to fit in Neymar.
You don’t win major championships with these concessions unfortunately.
@Bxxxa20@FabrizioRomano Set piece strategy at Chelsea came from our SP specialist Cueva, so if City has one that’s where that comes from.
Re physicality, he’s cut from the same cloth as Pep. Don’t expect a big change there!
He’s a good tactician, no doubt. One thing that did become ample clear during his tenure at CFC is when the pressure cranks up, something unexpected surfaces he goes negative.
His gut instinct is, for the lack of a better term, cowardly.
And that is a trait that is not elite and will likely be exposed time & again.
