On this whole Farke vs Smith debate on style of play

Isn't the biggest difference between the two that one had a player like Buendia for 3 seasons and the other doesn't. We're dominating possession in games but without a player to unlock a defence or score a goal it's going to be a struggle.

I just don't see how Farke would've got us promoted twice without Emi. It's now the task Smith is faced with. And it's not going to be easy at all. We no longer have a player who can pick out Pukki's runs so his goal return is going to be much lower than previous Champ season's. Farke had the goals and assists of Pukki and Buendia now we've got neither.
