It’s not possible to compare them in my opinion

And it’s also totally pointless.

Farke was blessed with Buendia or Maddison for his entire time here.

Regardless of smith’s tactical ability, he doesn’t have any players at his disposal that are anything close to those two.

My view is that the players we have are relatively limited compared to previous promotions and overall the squad lacks balance. Even if we had farke still, he’s not going to get much Farkeball out of a CM pairing of McLean and Sorensen.
