Curious as to why? Wicky achieved a lot more, albeit in a less competitive league. O neil has achieved nothing in management beyond being hated by all the fans of his previous clubs.
We certainly have the personel to play it. More so than some of the things Edwards was trying. Our full backs are better suited in a 4, and we have 3 excellent options in the 8 in Hackney, mcgree and nypan (Brown too) imo.
Yeah looking at the tables for the last 6 or 7 years he had chicago exactly where they'd expect to have been, in fact he was there when they had their best finish in that period.
I dont know much about the MLS, in what way did he do terribly? The only thing I could find is that he lasted 2 years and narrowly missed out on play offs. I dont know what their expectations were or if that is really bad, but the fact he wasnt fired after that first season would suggest that "terrible" is a bit harsh
Were not talking about the league table though, were talking solely about his attacking play, which was consistently amongst the best in the league.
Well, apart from his last 4 months or so, that was bad from front to back. Doesnt mean we can just ignore what we did before that though.
Premier league scouts enjoyed our stats too apparently, considering archer, ramsey, ELL, akpom, Rogers all went for 7 figure fees on the back of our attacking performances not to mention hackney getting a 20mil offer.
