Can anyone explain why he is trying to play football that inevitability leaves massive space to cover while seemingly prioritizing signing players who lack pace, running power and the physicality to make it work?
What the hell? How is it supposed to work? Maybe if he played a possession game and looked to control territory and tempo you could get away with that style of player but he is effectively buying players with an obvious weakness and then asking them to play a style that exaggerates that weakness.
It is abject lunacy, I am watching these games thinking that Ten Hag is some sort of parody manger, playing a long joke that he can't quite understand that his bosses aren't getting. Surely no rational human mind could play this football with this group of players?
