And for the last couple of years it's been like this, a training session approach to the actual game that matters. A poor man's Arsenal from a few years ago.
Perhaps if we do get Henry in as manager (and with a name like that he'll probably suck big time...) he'll introduce a bit of va va voom to the team.
Pulling out of 50/50 challenges is fine if you're conserving all your energy for the high press or playing the killer ball, but not if you're just going through the motions.
We need a settled back four, and a style of play that may lose us some games, but FFS attack like your bank account won't be getting any big wages unless you do.
