I think there is something in this, but I also think De Zerbi may be starting to recognise it and might need to change something in himself or his methods. If that's true it makes more sense for him to stay here with players he knows, than to move on.

Potters strength was tactical variation, but is changing the set up during a game frequently a sign that you got it wrong at the start frequently? I think we saw a shift in De Zerbi against Forest, we didn't take big risks, we played within ourselves and ground out a win. Not half as much fun...
