I hate the way elite coach has been hijacked by cash coaches. SAF was an elite coach and Cloughie was an elite coach. They made elite teams out of a mixed bag of players. Remember Fergie won trophies with the likes of John O'Shea, Johnny Evans, James Cleverley and Darren Gibson. Pep and Conte are a different thing. They achieved what they achieved with wall to wall top dollar talent throughout the squad.Fuck this shit. He’s not elite coach. Maybe with elite players but not with the shit we have
Fair point. I would argue that currently we don't have many options off the bench attacking wise.I doubt we'd be as slow and ponderous if we had some tactics that weren't all about countering and having 8 defensive-minded players on the pitch.
