And that's the sad truth. It's why we still struggle to beat certain styles. Teams that used to once park the bus have know realised they can counter as seen from earlier seasons when both Manchester teams ripped us open. Hughes used the same tactics against us last season as he did when coaching City. It's probably why we still have shit wingbacks and defenders. How can you not study your opponent?

Same logic works with our stale attack as well. When teams double mark our players or try to force them wide, we have no clue how to react except more of the same. If we want our players to develop, hs has to get them studying the opposition. Pisses me off to read that and the original poster has a point on that respect.
