It’s the nine changes and expecting a cohesive display that annoyed me. No other team does it successfully. You learn more by playing a near strength side with two to three changes and integrating them into the playing style of the others. You then keep that rotation going over a number of games. It’s what city and Liverpool do and then as the season unwinds you play your full strength team with only a few minor amendments. For me Ange learned nothing last night. If had played Gio with Biss and Sarr we all would have learned more on how he could fit in. Imagine you are Gio and are asked to play the Maddison role without the two players that allow Maddison to excel. No wonder he was not invigorated.We'll all there lapping it up on the weekend as it will actually be Ange's style on display with a team who look like they actually know each other rather than just met 5 minutes ago
last night it wasn't and that is why people are pissed off.
