The one thing you notice with Frank and I know he gets criticism for it, especially at Chelsea when they couldn’t defend apparently. I also thing we’ve been brainwashed by negative managers, Moyes’s default mechanism when winning or drawing away, With 10 to play is throw a defender on for a striker. And it Didn’t work plenty of times.
Koeman didn’t and of course ancelotti and Rafael also would do this. Even Unsworth does it for the 23’s ffs.
So when I’m crying out for Godfrey at LB yesterday to make us a bit more solid, Frank doesn’t do it. He wants full backs who can effect the game higher up the pitch. Under pressure yesterday and it’s a winger for forward, but the system didn’t change and then a midfielder for a midfielder.
Frank Is going to live or die by his philosophy and all credit to him for that.
