“There are two types of coaches. There’s coaches like me who weigh up the opposition and ask the team to adjust. Fergie was similar. José [Mourinho] is similar. Then there’s Arsène, who won’t adjust. There’s Brendan [Rodgers], who looks like he won’t adjust. There’s Manuel Pellegrini, who looks like he won’t adjust … their philosophy is different to ours.

Michael Cox, The Mixer: The Story of Premier League Tactics, from Route One to False Nines

Josiah Bancroft, The Hod King

Michael Cox, The Mixer: The Story of Premier League Tactics, from Route One to False Nines
