If it's possession based, then why is the spine of our team now

Krul, Hanley, Tettey and Rhodes? All of whom are, to be generous, pretty average with the ball at their feet.

I think possession football was last years (failed) thing and now we're transitioning to a much more pragmatic style. Our attacking strengths right now are Hernandez and Rhodes. Both of whom thrive on quick, direct play. It would be absolute nonsense to continue a slow possession style.
