Superb.
I feel like all the 'big' teams bar Arse are overestimating their attacking edge and playing a style they can't carry out with mediocre players. Start playing 4-4-2's/4-1-4-1`s, dropping to 4-6-0 in defence. More focus on set plays, deeper defensive lines, more winning second and third balls, counter with pace. Pretty much what Mourinho did last season. It's really hard to play a possession game on small, muddy pitches without elite fullbacks like Alves, Alba/Alaba. Resist the temptation to push too many players forward. Fans and overrated primadonna players wouldn't stand for it, of course, which is part of the reason the big teams are horrible.
