How fun wouldnt it be to just go all out Swansea-style with Santon, Cissè, Ba, Ben arfa, Cabaye in the Silva-role, bombing forward. Could fail spectacularily. Or it could be a CL-ticket. Would have been fun either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Honestly can't get my head around that comment. We've conceded a lot of goals, therefore our play has most definitely been positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Think he means we've conceded a lot so going more positive would mean even more goals conceded. Not true imo, but I can see the reasoning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, inviting pressure on the defence due to lack of a coherent gameplan of our own is clearly the way to go then. (Realise that's not what you're saying btw, as you've stated).

Would have been fun either way. Watching us struggle to pass the ball out of defence against Norwich makes me think it's too late in the day to adopt a new approach now, the players are unsure of themselves and the manager clearly doesn't have confidence in it. Best just to stick with what he is comfortable with and hope we'll scrape four wins from somewhere like we did yesterday. We haven't got a prayer against the likes of Chelsea or Liverpool, but it might be enough against the Swanseas and West Broms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going more positive = taking more risks = shipping more goals Simple equation really Compared to going more positive, keep more possession and therefore the other team can't score, puts less pressure on people like Williamson.

Guest Deadmau5 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Because we are drawing attention to our weak link by inviting pressure to it rather than try to keep the ball in the midfield and retain possession further up the field. He is making it worse rather than better, but because we are parking the bus most teams cant get through anyway. Against the better sides it gets rather pathetic though, second half vs arsenal it looked like teams from a different division playing eachother.

Are you watching the games, this is what's happening every week. That could work in some-way if we had the players to launch good counter-attacks when we don't, so it's madness. Obertan's goal v Blackburn meant we were the last team this season to score from a counter attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 How can you argue with someone whose understanding of the game is so poor? I'm not being funny or even trying to be harsh, but honestly. Might as well talk football with my grandma. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going more positive = taking more risks = shipping more goals Simple equation really Nothing to do with the fact we had the most in form centre back pairing in the league and weren't conceding many until Taylor got injured, now we're having to play a championship at best replacement. Also have a new LB settling into the league and had our first choice central midfield missing for about a month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
