Absolutely correct. Five at the back means we relinguish the midfield because two holding can't cover enough ground and the other's AWOL. Teams press forward, dictate the middle and our forwards don't get a sniff.
On the odd occassion we've gone back to basics and played 4-4-2 it's generally worked OK but the modern manager's play book says 'No'!
4-4-2 means a team of mediocre players might get a result anything other means the they'll probably lose in the Prem.
Strange opinion. If you look at the replays, there's no way that either were penalties; the forwards clearly purposely fell over Bedbarek's and Stephen's legs. Saints fan?
Saints have played well this half and you wonder why they didn't have the same attitude from the beginning. A great amount of possession but no penetration - Martin would have been proud. A Scottish phantom centre-forward enters the affray for Saints.⁸⁷
I don't think we're doing that badly - just backs against the wall and we're clearly outplayed by Spurs. We're absolutely no threat whatsoever. But what do you expect - we're a Championship team ( at best). I didn't think I'd be saying we're missing Onuachu and Downes but I'm not sure they'd have made much difference. Another 45 until it's all over and we can start preparing for next season.
