Pre Season 2013

We wont face a team this open in the Prem. They're trying to push forward, which is laudable, but not what Stoke or West Ham would do.

You know that there will be teams who play an open attacking game.
The PL doesn't just consist of West Ham and Stoke.
 
Chadli at times looks awkward with the ball like he hasn't got good close touch control but he looks a great athlete who can beat a man, definitely looks a good bargain though (considering we got him for the same price we bought and sold Dempsey)

With a team like ours? What manager in his right mind looks at a midfield trio of Paulinho, Sandro and Dembele and thinks 'I want to attack that'?

:p I know, I know, but the point stands that we won't face a team this open in the Prem. Most teams have a modicum of defensive organisation with the ball: youk now, holding on to it after an attack and getting into position. Not these lads, they seem to be giving it the full throttle, bursting forward as soon as they get the ball.

Martinez?
Also managers with a touch of arrogance/over-confidence
