What we need, regardless of football philosophy, is a manager who prioritises athleticism. In the premier league you need to be athletic and technical. The way you close the gap against technically superior players is to outwork them. Any style of football can work. Our press this season has been non existent. The teams we used to be comfortably ahead of, the Bournemouths and the Brentfords, they don't play hoofball. They don't play a slow possession based game. But they do work bloody hard on and off the ball. Brentford score goals before the opponent even know they've kicked off. We've looked lethargic, disorganised and less fit than the majority (all?) of our opponents this season. It's something that needs addressing.
