‘With the right squad’

Farke was great with a squad that was better than most of the rest. Not so much with a squad that was worse.

Jury is out for me as to whether this team is better than most champ squads - but I don’t think it is.

Most managers struggle to excel with average squads. Smith is. Farke would.
