Stopped reading at the mention of Brennan being the key to these tactics working.
A road-runner, right footed, inside-forward who can't take on his man, who can't control the ball, can't cross, can't shoot, can't come inside on his left, can't even kick it with his left, and is forced to play out on the touchline where he looks completely bereft, is the key to Ange's system working?
Sorry but if you still think that then frankly you don't understand the sport you're watching. For the whole of last year we had to listen to people here yap on about Brennan's G/A as if that was evidence of him not being complete shite, and then again this year in his little "hot streak" that was so blatantly going to be short lived, but that opinion is too embarrassing to hold any more so even those old hold-outs seem to have shut up about him.
Oh, and it was widely reported he was Ange's main player demand in his first summer, the guy he REALLY wanted for his system. Cheers gaffer. If the wingers are truly the only key to his system working (spoiler; they're not) the manager has nobody to blame but himself.
