Exactly what Jose said. he was glad Palace scored cos it stopped us retreating into our shell... which is interesting cos it makes it sound like Jose wants us to play positive attacking football.
At least a part of me wonders if we have seen a turn in our strategy overall. Like after the City loss in particular, but even after the West Ham defeat if Jose basically said “we have to play offensively”? Kind of the opposite of when he lost the 5-3 New Year’s Day game at WHL years ago and played much more defensively after.
Before anyone dives all over me, I realize it’s not that simple. But this team seems much more progressive in general these days. We weren’t necessarily against Fulham, but against the 4-4-2 of both Burnley and Palace we definitely were.
