But you can't sacrifice one for the other anymore. At least, that's what title winners are telling us. You need all these guys and then 3 or 4 who can literally do it all, juiced to the gills if necessary.
That's true. It's just really gone against the creatives because running and pressing has replaced a lot of their utility.
Funnily enough, the lack of a proper technical structure has left us with a group of older players who are all over the place and cannot adapt to this style. The kids can all do this. Saka, Nelson, Nketiah, Willock etc can all play this style. It's Xhaka and Lacazette who are screwed
