While you did face those difficulties, why have the greek managers of similar level and experience to you faired so much better? Anyway, Dave already mentioned minamino is his friend and a good non cheating manager so i would think he knows his stuff.
That was started just because minamino suggested all managers who have 5 STs or more in squad are crap. That is pretty provocative there.

And that alone would upset lots of managers who do play favourite formations with 2 STs (who would have 1 or even 2 STs subs), a mix of ST/AML(R)s as wing forwards, or simply managers like myself who play a lone ST, but with a good ST sub on the bench plus 3 reserves who have ST roles to help tpb training (not all bought as STs but AMCs completed ST role task and on 49/50 of MC role/SA training for next tasks).

Groups like mine is probably least offended as I would just dismiss no-planning managers’ ignorance;
If I do play 2-top or even 3 forwards with ST/AML(R) variations regularly, and then someone call me crap just because I do have 3 first teamers with ST, and another 2 STs on bench, then I definitely will fight back for my pride in choice of formation and play, if that makes sense.

And as we all know very well why better records do not equal to better managers anyway. Laughing at others’ record is really low.
