I think setting us up to play on the counter makes more of our players.

I think we’re better suited to it.

We’re not technically good enough to play possession football.
100%

Especially on the wings. Johnson, Son, Werner don’t have the technical ability to break down a packed box and solanke is left working his arse of to get scraps. All of these players are better when running into space.
 
I know I like a moan sometimes but fuck me some of you guys.

We're still creating some good chances, probably better chances than we create in all those games we just endlessly pass it around doing nothing.

Yeah we've missed some good chances. But we're creating them.
 
isn't high possession numbers evidence that they are good enough to play possession football?
Intentionless possession is stupid anyway, you don't get points for it. Reams of studies have shown the liklihood of scoring decreases the longer you have the ball.

Be direct in attacking, yes play smart passes and advance the ball. But move forward and take a shot or play a cross when in sight of goal. Side to side and recycling to the back is a waste of time.
 
Werner is exactly the profile we need - just create so many high quality chances - just need someone with the profile who can finish

We love our wasted chances don't we
