I didn't day they were idiots at all.Do you think lower league players are idiots? Like I say they would take time to understand it but you`d see a progression towards what the manager wanted.
Some may have the capacity to take inboard the message. The majority wouldn't.
Do they all? No, because they're not good enough.How do players come from lower leagues to be able to play in the PL?
And they have the time away from being a regular starter because they all say the same thing. The instructions from the manager and the drills they do are like they've experienced before.City don`t shop in the same place as us, they want to be the best so they buy the best, even when they do buy good players they have a period out of the team until they are fully integrated and know the system, with probably the exception of Haaland.
Some players can cope, other can't.
He couldn't do it with a lesser squad. (in my opinion, I may be wrong. It's rare, but it happens.)
Anyway, we're way off topic.
Dyche is garbage.
