I am not sure I would recommend actually buying this book, but in view of the upcoming fixture (and Man United fans moaning about the style of Mourinho):



unless you are a fan of hoof it into the box and sooner or later the defence will make a mistake (Blitz Chess). Or gegenpressing, keep on making threatening moves (in chess) rather than a more conservative strategy.

PS: a bit like Gus Poyet. I don't go along entirely with the second sentence "wait for openings". Rather create openings by good balls in the final third or pieces of individual skill, rather than brute force.
