the test will be in this seasons in european football and champions league by the english teams and manchester city to see if the dip is not just in the english game put on a wider scale, the style is nothing to new in football and better players can play any style and shine, its just self believing in the project that the manager has setup and his vision on what they are trying to achieve and the most important things is getting results and winning silverware
believe me football is not rocket science and to many so called great managers make the game harder than it should be and over do it instead of the basic stuff, make it simple and know your players and the rules and never cross the lines and dot's to try and make a masterpiece because it will be only you who can understand whats in your head
what i like about the good managers/teams over the years is the simple things they do they make it look so good and easy, but its just simple basic things that have others puzzled and that is the key to make them think and change what they are doing when facing you, the other teams work on there weakness and style when facing the best teams and i always find that a puzzle why work on something like defending and parking the bus when you lose anyway
just play your own game don't try and do something to stop the others you have worked hours and hours on your setup and know your roles in the team to a point you can do it in your sleep, so when facing the best team in the league the manager all of a sudden changes it and wants you to play this or that way its daft and wrong, if you played the game you know that better players and better teams and its just a fact of life if somebody is better at football than you nothing can really change they way they play , yes sometimes they can have off days or playing under par or with a injury so you maybe catch them out from time to time but the cream always rises to the top
manchester city have the best players in the premier league and the rest just have to play there own game and don't try to over think it and losing to somebody better is a fact of life, but never change and come and park the bus and defend then moan about the level and the money manchester city have
