Well yeah, but Southgate is forced to work with what he has, whereas the rags actively choose to buy players that don't fit the system they claim to want to play.
My prediction for this season is that they'll have a few teething problems trying to play out from the back (like we did when we brought Bravo in), and quickly revert to type as a direct counter-attacking long ball team. They basically dream of playing like us but they don't have the players to do it. Rashford, for example, is great when he has a lot of space to run into, but put him against a team defending their own box and he becomes very average. And that's what happens when you play the sort of possession-based football that we do.
