I think all of our attackers can press, I just don’t think that’s what was expected from the last few coaches who wanted everyone to drop deep behind the ball when possession was last. The change in mentality to be positive on the ball will be the hardest task and with patience he’ll get there.For his system to work, the strikers need to press , and it ain't happening with Son and Kane. Making matters worse, this malaise of rewarding laziness with guaranteed first team football has caught on, such that even Deki and Richarlison seems to just jog around the football pitch
Big task ahead, good luck Ange.
The formation and tactics of the last 3+ years has essentially been 541 with a remit to stand off and defend deeply in numbers. PLaying on the break and not having the liability of possession is Mourinho's MO - he's written books about it. And despite Conte's team sheet looking like 343, it wasn't that at all excepting the run in of his first season.For his system to work, the strikers need to press , and it ain't happening with Son and Kane.

Or maybe focus on the positive that he’s realised that and has made a fantastic appointment on a 4 year contract who does fit exactly what is important to us.“Ange brings a positive mentality and a fast, attacking style of play. He has a strong track record of developing players and an understanding of the importance of the link from the academy - everything that is important to our Club. We are excited to have Ange join us as we prepare for the season ahead."
Nice one "Coys Daniel".
If 'fast, attacking football' and 'the link from the academy' are so important, maybe you'd like to publicly apologise for your last 3 managerial appointments which are totally and utterly polar opposite of that.
Why is that funny?So funny the club felt compelled to include "Now that the season and all domestic cup competitions have concluded..."
Just to highlight they always had a plan and know their arses from the elbows
Good luck to him, he seems like a really good bloke and his football teams up to now have been a good watch and successful for the most part.
He's joining a nonsense club this time, though, so he'll really need some luck and a bit of time to turn the ship around. The time component of that seems unlikely, so getting off to a good start to quieten the noisy minority of ne'er-do-wells would be most welcome.
It is positive I’m just severely disappointed with the past 4 years and can’t easily forgive the man making these decisions.Or maybe focus on the positive that he’s realised that and has made a fantastic appointment on a 4 year contract who does fit exactly what is important to us.
Mate, you've been railing against the ineptitude of our hierarchy and breakdown of last season for weeks. No other club behaves this way, going for months with interimnof interim managers. This club's suits haven't a clue how to run a football operation, which is why most of our seasons wither and are undermined by senior exec decisions and absence of long term strategy. Just because we hit the right note from time to time with manager appointments, doesn't mean they know what they're doing.Why is that funny?
I don’t blame them, they had to wait for the seasons of Slot and Ange’s teams to finish as they were two main targets.
So much BS in the media etc so club need to say some things like this to cut through the rubbish.
One can look at both things at the same time.Mate, you've been railing against the ineptitude of our hierarchy and breakdown of last season for weeks.

It's got nothing to do with bs in the media. The last season was a fucking joke and a lot of that is because they appointed the wrong guys, and dont have plans in place. They didnt have a plan to wait the season out. They set us up for failure with the prior manager and had no contingency plan. You can be satisfied with our latest appointment without falling back into nonsense mode about the clowns that run this club
