You'll have to write to Huw at the liberty, or Sandro Rosell at the camp nou for permission, as we jointly own the patent for that brand of football. :D

Beats me why we've changed from a succesfull playing style to one that doesn't work for us, just doesn't make sense. :roll: :ayatollah:

Perhaps we don't want to go up, get promoted!

With the lack of pace and sometimes a striker up front, teams can hold a very high line and compress the middle. Couple that with out lack of width and we are shagged.

Other teams soon realised this, so Malky wnet over the top to Rudy, it works but is crude.

The Jacks to their credit make the pitch as wide as possible with their fast mobile wingers, who can burn you if you play too high.

Malky has this season to establish where we are, and its bloody obvious, so he better have three more wingers in over the summer.

I enjoyed our early football - watching us lately is like getting teeth pulled at the dentist with no anaesthetic
