So true... and something that Pellegrini has to learn very quickly (hopefully just has).sendô wrote: That line up and high line will probably work well against half of the league.
We are not Man City, we cannot play that expansive in every game. We will be fine playing that way against 10-13 teams, especially at home. But we need to be a lot more compact and solid against the top six, especially away.
Steep learning curve and a very tough first fixture so not really worth getting top excited either way. I have a feeling Liverpool will do that to many a side this season.
