I think the argument of attacking football at the expense of winning is a flawed one. I certainly think it’s possible to win leagues with a “defensive” set up (Conte, Mourinho prove that) but I think the issue is that you’re trying to create 1-0 wins and that’s very difficult in the modern premier league as there’s lots of potential for a moment of quality or luck to break that.
The reason Man City and Liverpool got 100pt seasons is because they were winning by 2,3,4 goals each game and when a moment of bad luck happened it didn’t lose them points. They could also take their foot off the gas in the last few minutes.
TLDR; get me an attacking manager
