I'm absolutely delighted to see that many people can see the realities here.
Only a while back people were hankering after a kind of football which is of doubtful value and which ,to be frank, we couldn't manage anyway.
I'm even more delighted to see some great posts from Jon 1959, who is now revealing an intelligent and analytical side.

The main problem right now is that we're not yet playing our own game as well as we did before. The new players aren't picking up loose balls as regularly as Gunarsson and Arter did, the long balls up aren't as good and people aren't getting onto them as well as they did. The good news though, is that unlike the Carlos Fandango method, this style can be taught and drilled into almost any professional footballer and given that we've got plenty of raw talent we can expect fantastic improvements once they've git it right .
