Doubt the 1st promotion possible without Buendia

Farke's possession style was fine up to a point. The final third was where the Emi and Pukki combination killed teams. Our stats without Emi during the championship season's prove how integral he was to our attacking play and unlocking defences. Don't think Farke would've been able to achieve that success without him. Smith has no one anywhere near as creative in the final third as Buendia.

At Gladbach it's a completely different set of players so it's a clean slate and I'm sure he'll do well. Just trying to compare him with Smith with a similar group of players
