I swear some people will not be happy until we go back in time and play like Howard Wilkinson said football should be played
Get the ball and kick it forward as hard and as quick as possible and all I can say is play like that and I won't be renewing my season ticket. Incidentally can anyone tell me when our passing at the back has cost us a goal as I struggle to remember losing a goal playing like that but I do remember that our possession at the back as led to many goals because of controlled possession and its called football not kick it quick kick it far ball.
Absolutely. People bemoan us losing possession on occasion by playing it out from the back but it's a statistical fact that booting it long and retaining possession is a rare occurrence, coupled with the fact our fullbacks and midfield would be completely bypassed leaving Kane on his lonesome.
I understand it's irritating when it doesn't pay off but it's not as irritating as never seeing any of the ball.
