What have we learned so far? — Analysis

First time poster! In fairness this is a great thread, even in spite of an obvious clash in thinking at times.
This type of attitude, mentality and set up is absolutely essential in the modern game however I think it is fair to say that there is a lot of give and take and trust in the players required by a manager to not only get it right but to also know when to deviate from the plan and produce something that might win the game.
Likewise, who are the players that might let you down, whether its not fulfilling instruction or just not capable due to lack of ability?
Its all well and good covering more ground than anyone else, blocking pockets of the pitch and pressing like an animal and then watching one trickle through the keepers legs Lumley style.
Beale looks to me like a guy who gets it, will have us drilled as best he can but also understand our best(and worst) players need a bit of freedom and potentially have to make mistakes in order to improve them in the long run.
This has been reflected so far, and yes the performances and results have not been great but it has been better than the end of last season to be fair and with some encouraging signs that it can improve from here on in. There are also signs it could go tits up of course, but to me anyway the positives are outweighing the negatives at the moment.
