Can't think of any bucket puns..............
However, - Can we keep this up? - assumes that there will be a single style of play throughout the season. Surely a bright Coach like MB will evolve, amend and generate new thoughts and ways as we go through what is going to be, even for him, a marathon season? As other managers and coaches get their heads together to combat this refreshing and successful way of playing the game, IMHO we are unlikely to be caught out like we were last season when Milwall came along and put paid to Thomas Christiansen’s Plan A; there was no Plan B and it was all downhill from there. Marcelo seems to have his thinking hat on permanently!
The lie of the land will become clearer towards the end of October for me.
The big question, I suppose, is whether the players will grow into the season and produce what MB wants of them. These early days when the squad is fresh is when some teams get the jump on others if things go right for them. The hurdles come in as we head towards Christmas and Spring when consistency, endurance and a modicum of luck is needed maybe with say three or so youngsters coming through to spice things up. After it really is a case of who has the character and the will to get to the finish line.
MB also sounds like he would really fancy a visit to Wembley........
