You're right. He should come up with his own 6-3-1 formation cause every other formation is taken.
Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
He should have been doing this as soon as we started becoming stale or when the opposition demands it.
This whole lack of change to suit the opponents of the day was only applicable when we were head and shoulders above everyone else.
He obviously rated the current squad a lot more than they deserve.
Worst part is, when we actually do it (change style or formation to suit), we come up with results.
Do you have any idea how shit Middlesbrough are? I mean, really?
True.
However winning ugly in our situation was all that mattered. We all want him gone but he did just about get the job done and changed the team finally.
Think back to the city and Chelsea wins this season and last.
Against city, there was marked difference in the way we sat back, soaked pressure and hit them on the counter to win 2-0 and stay solid.
Chelsea this season, ok they were ropey at the start, but they still started the season ok and then we were their first big test and we brushed them.
Against barca years ago, we parked the bus and arshavin won us the game on the counter.
When we modify the way we play (which is very rare). Ok, Middlesborough are shit, but again, we literally just got cleansheeted by crystal palace ffs.
