Zubi is actually not that bad. He just gets his timing wrong and was given special requests by managers which turned out to be crap. Also the board makes dodgy signings on his behalf sometimes.
If the wingers are wide we end up with tito football and rely on messi to do everything. But it's slightly better build up because the middle three is close together.
That's what we had with guardiola, not afraid to play one twos in the middle of the pitch. Or maybe the other teams have figured us out and force us to play it out wide?
