I appreciate long balls can be effective, I watch man City and Liverpool do it effectively. I think our over reliance on them is going to stifle us though.

We have better players. We don't need Joe Ralls playing like a scrum half booting the ball into obscurity, I saw him play a decent pass out to Bacuna first half, why they persist with these volleyed hoofs instead of taking the ball down and controlling it before a pass really bothers me.

I'd be moaning if we won 3 nil, because that type of football over a full season is going to be hard to watch, we have the odd brilliant moment but overall its not going to entertain.
The moment MM was employed, entertainment went out of the window I'm afraid. He's a limited pragmatic coach who can put together a team of battlers but no more than that. If we had deeper pockets and with it more ambition, the time would be right to look further afield but we haven't so be prepared for a load of snoozefests this season.
