We aren't that attacking either, we need a strong backline because sometimes 1-0 has to be enough. You win the league with a tight defence and goals from multiple areas of the team. We have 2 goal scorers and not much else. Our 3rd highest scorer has 6 goals this year of which one is leaving, and the other 2 we wouldn't be fussed if they left (Ozil, Mukhi). Then Welbeck is on 5. He hasn't played since November.Originally Posted by Letters
I absolutely wouldn't want to go back to 1-0 to the Arsenal and route one punt it up to Smith/Wright/whoever football.
But it's not a choice, you can be an attacking side and still be competent at the back. Liverpool have tightened up at the back but they are still scoring a shitload of goals.
The continued incompetence at the back is so obviously and so consistently our problem, it's incredible that hasn't been addressed.
