The thing is, it's not that players like Zaha and Townsend are bad players. I'm not sure that these types of players will work with our system. It takes an enourmous amount of tactical awareness, concentration and technical ability to be able to play how we play, every player has to be willing and able to do it. Your typical pacey-skillfull touchline hanging winger wouldn't flourish in our team IMO.
