There's *some* truth to this.
Still, there were and will continue to be a lot of games under Jose where we'll be content to concede the ball to lesser opponents and launch route 1 smash and grab counterattacks upon regaining possession.
You can win games and make opponents look foolish doing that. But if you're having an off, listless game it can be pretty pathetic.
But then, as late Poch or even more so late Wenger demonstrates, it's not exactly thrilling entertainment to see a team listlessly having 80% possession pinging harmless passes around the midfield either.
