‘we don’t have the players to do that style’ (19 replies)

It’s absolute rubbish, isn’t it?

We’ve got players like Bielik, Bacuna, Dembele, Miyoshi, Anderson, Stansfield etc and yet we apparently can’t play a more progressive style of football?

Surely the last thing we should be doing with the current players is being 442 “classic blues”, get stuck in, play it long and hit to the target man?

The one thing Rooney is right about is that if you want to be serious about top 6 you have to get the ball down and take the game to the opponent. It’s disappointing that the media question whenever we bring in a manager who wants to actually play this way, because, apparently, blues and our players are nothing more than long ball merchants.
