If you think football is as simple as that, then you’re sorely mistaken……
As a club appointing Cooper meant we abandoned everything we worked on last season, leading to a change in style….. so when Ruud comes in, the style changes yet again….. he has to be able to build a foundation to work from, what is your expectation? Play 4-4-2, bollock the ball up to two big strikers and hope for the best? Because hoping for the best is more or less what Cooper tried, and failed to do.
With no method and no system you can’t even begin to improve, Ruud is trying to address the defensive issues by implementing a proper method and ideology.
Playing two strikers isn’t going to change our defensive problems, how we play as a unit will.
