There's playing your way and there's knowing when you should adapt to suit the match conditions. Being down to 9 men and having slow players in your defence against a team of speedsters when you still have a point in hand is just naïve.

Pragmatism Vs dogmatism.
This is the way it's going to be. I'm loving it - balls to be playing like this at 9 men.

In the words of Nuno : “we will make you proud”. Aside from Romero for his stupidity the rest of the lads and Ange have done just that tonight.

Nearly worked though?
Do you think a low block would have kept Chelsea out with 9?

This is a lot more pragmatic then parking the bus.

I don't get why people are so critical of playing this high line and are positive. It could just have well been a loss even if we parked the bus.

At least this is a bit fun.
Take this any day of the week over what we’ve been served up before

Imagine what the score would have been if we just kept our heads?

Chelsea are shocking.

Oh my god how are we still making so many chances with 9 men? Fuck, that's that over though.

We go against the ideology we’ve been building and lose or we keep the belief up and probably still lose. It’s 9 vs 11.
