MS, this has nothing to do with warped memories, it's just a fact. We rarely play against attacking teams that can pin us back for long. This is a rare game and it's we're unlikely to play this way all season because most of the team we go up against park the bus. I'm more interested in how we play against teams that aren't set up to be so open because those are they games where we can struggle.
I think we're on the same page.
There is criticism from far and wide for our supposed lack of counter-attacking ability though. Even the best teams can't do anything against the Sunderlands of this world. As seen with Barcelona v Chelsea last season.
It was probably because of the Invincibles team that so many managers just set out with one block of ten to stop the better teams playing.
Quite true. Norwich, Newcastle, Fulham...but I think we were really poor with our passing last year. The midfield lacked cohesion and there was no end product and a lot of teams were taken advantage of our mistakes and countering us. But as seen with Sunderland and Stoke, I think a few teams will get pinned back because our central midfield is better compared to last seasons.
It is very hard to please the so-called Arsenal fans . We lose they get angry . We draw they moan . We win they try to find weaknesses to put the team down .
That was a very good performance against a very good Liverpool . Well done boys .
DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .
Last season we played Ramsey at CM. No team can survive that. No pace, no movement, no vision,,,,,,,,Nothing
