That's surely why the idea of Txiki imposing the approach from Barca of a 4-3-3 formation and tiki-taka football is not far fetched. The club needs a well defined way of playing and needs to recruit at all levels to that template.
Exactly. It just seems you can't make any relevant comment on here without it being viewed as having a pop at Bob. We used to have a default formation of 4-2-3-1 but then this season, due to having 4 front line strikers, Bob attempted to change it to accomodate at least 2 of them each game. If I could be arsed I'd dig out posts of mine from the beginning of the season where I said this would create issues - we never had the right midfield balance in the squad to play 4-4-2, no genuine wingers and central players with no pace.
Hopefully imposing the 4-3-3 and buying players that specifically fit the system will eradicate this issue.
