Recruitment v CD Posession based play

Seems to me there's a complete disconnect - particularly going forward. We've brought in - attacking wise - pacy players best suited to counter-attacking on the break whilst Davies wants to hold onto the ball and build slowly. I can't see how this changes unless Davies moves away from his whole football philosophy. I also don't understand how Davies & Gardener have both allowed this to happen. It feels like they're not on the same page in their thinking
