You have to find a way for your team. That is the manager's job
You have a specific quality available and with the way you play it has to fit to the players
It's been known well before even I took my first coaching course: you play and organize to your players' strengths putting pegs into the holes made for the pegs. It's not a chicken or egg situation. The players come first, until they are not available, and the system follows from there. If you insist on playing a particular way then, optimally, you recruit the right players for the recipe, which is a long term proposition as it can take many transfer windows to get the right players and the right blend of players. If you want immediate results you have to take the best blend you have and play to their strengths; to hell with the philosophy of the coach.I had to adapt a lot to the quality we have brought in in recent years
