True but…

Even without emi we may have been ineffective but we had a clear style under farke. Emi made us effective by unlocking defences and actually providing some defensive bite of our own.

Under smith I just don’t see any clear style and players look like they don’t know what they’re doing. We don’t seem to have a clear formation either. Brief run of wins seemed to happen with idah fit and forced change. But then in the summer we didn’t sign players to change things just need up the middle a bit.

Not really sure what he’s trying to do.

Both farke and smith sold down the river by our atrocious recruitment through. £20m on tzolis and rashica and we end up playing Hernandez,
Don’t even mention Sargent and gilmour…..
