its slowly getting depressing, we have no game plan, no real defensive shape
4-3-3 isnt working :bonk:
pep always changed a lot, lots of it worked, lots of it backfired, but carlo changes nothing except throwing an extra winger in when we need a goal
Well let's be honest, he's not a good tactician, but eventually he usually gets the team to work together and find a way to get results.
He's much better at managing world class players than he is managing his football team during the game, and that has so far sufficed for him to have a successful career.
The only awkward thing here is that unlike in his previous jobs (Milan, Chelsea, PSG, Madrid) is that he's not picking up a wrecked team where the most needed thing is someone who can lift up the player's spirits and make them work together, but a team that, despite not living up to the expectations in the CL, was working well and earning silverware with a very clear and specific philosophy and tactical mindset.
