So 1 win in about 13 or so isn't a problem? Of course it is and it's naive to suggest otherwise.
And it's not just the extra space, although that definitely plays it's part - we're naturally more conservative away from home with our pressing, for example, compared to the way we 'should' be at home - but there is also undoubtedly a mental hurdle for the players at Wembley. We've been so dominant elsewhere, at the Lane and on our travels, that t his is impossible to deny. There absolutely is a problem at Wembley and it's represented in our form there compared to our form elsewhere.
Why is everyone harping about only the size? It's the whole place, atmosphere etc. If it was just pitch size there would be no away game syndrome for any team
It's beyond mental that anyone could still possibly try to suggest that there isn't a problem with Wembley.
It's not the size, it's the shitty nature of the stadium, the crap acoustics and atmosphere, and the team's very obvious mental block when playing there.
It's crazy to suggest anything otherwise.
