Relentless is the word

you don't get the time to develop a team almost from scratch in the PL. Maybe that's why he's abandoned the possession game - because it would take these new players too long to fully embed Farkeball. Or maybe he doesn't think the new signings can do it - particularly those in forward positions. Tzolis, Rashica and Sargent are very, very different types to Todd, Dowell, Emi - who are all number 10 types.

Which begs the questions - was *this* way of playing always the plan? Or did we get the recruitment totally wrong for Farke's style?
