Indeed, dont think Andy was bein unrealistic in demanding naive champagne football for the sake of it. But that we should build a team that can play good football, that can create and play the game efficiently and well. Bit like how Roma are doing (all due to their coach). Instead we shoot ourselves in the foot by relying heavily on individual quality, and having a meagre basic game approach which doesnt have much creativity in overall.
The overall basic approach of a team is showcased evidently when you arent having your brighter days, we dont have a basic sound gameplan to fall back on then . The players get insecure, no one can pass much, and they succumb to rash balls or desperate long balls. Thats football without idea. And we can easily play our game with some thought and creativity behind it, far from a demanding thng, and Lippi did countless of times, and Ancelotti for us too (funny thing is Ranieri isnt even a defensive coach, we go quite gunho and direct on attacks often, and are real good at counters, score alot and so on, but his main drawback is he just doesnt put much thought behind the gameplan, its just very simple, mundane, hence also uncreative).
