Perfectly legitimate goal to aim at the top team in the league and our new derby rivals. But agree we have to focus on what we’re doing. Beating ourselves up for not emulating a much more well funded club with the marketing advantage of having new club smell etc isn’t too productive.
Let’s be honest, AFC aside, there’s no one on the league playing Roarcelona ball or anything. There’s a lot of variations on hard to break down teams and teams with great presses who are doing well and more entertaining teams that have welcome mats in the midfield and ship as many as they score regularly.
There’s not a lot of great attacking local teams to emulate or aspire to.
