Yes, it was a great result and excellent performance. Well done all. But Southampton are a really really poor team.

Really interesting article on BBC online today on how the ‘modern game‘ is shifting from ‘positional’, high possession based football to one with less possession, more intensity and more direct attacking play - (exactly how I have described Bournemouth and Fab’s system above previously on this thread - our stats yesterday speak for themselves) . It is why Man City’s woes run deeper than poor performances but rather symptomatic of the ‘aging’ tactical genius that was once Pep Guardiola’s influence on the game:
FH, like Iraola, is I believe amongst the new generation of managers at the cutting edge of modern football:

Interestingly RDZ’s Marseille got battered yesterday despite on average having 80% possession during the game.Really interesting article on BBC online today on how the ‘modern game‘ is shifting from ‘positional’, high possession based football to one with less possession, more intensity and more direct attacking play - (exactly how I have described Bournemouth and Fab’s system above previously on this thread - our stats yesterday speak for themselves) .

Saying that they are second in the league so it’s a combination of things going right on the day rather than this works that doesn’t.
Recent form has been patchy and there is frustration they are 10 points behind PSG already though , especially given the investment

Surely they didn’t expect to run close to the oil money? I’ve always watched French football the fans have calmed down somewhat this season so not quite as fun.
This indicates that like Potter, FH can change. He is not a fundamentalist like De Zerbi.Really interesting article on BBC online today on how the ‘modern game‘ is shifting from ‘positional’, high possession based football to one with less possession, more intensity and more direct attacking play - (exactly how I have described Bournemouth and Fab’s system above previously on this thread - our stats yesterday speak for themselves) .

I still believe that De Zerbi was our best ever manager. Best finish. Europe. A penalty kick away from an FA Cup final. Amazing attacking football with tons of goals. But his system is not the elixir. It got found out because it was a trap. Teams learn how to avoid the trap. My opinion on RDZ as the GOAT will be changed soon.
The club signed a manager with potential. Some fans found this too difficult to fathom but TB works in the long term not the short term. For example, the raw Baleba was never going to replace Caicedo in the first year or so. But my word he is a good player now.

I think FH probably is a fundamentalist like RDZ. It's just that what's fundamental to FH is not related to formation and possession as it is/was for RDZ. For FH, intensity is what's fundamental. Formations aren't quite so important to FH which is why the one he's used with us (4231 for the most part, although there has been the odd variation from this) and St Pauli (5221).
