Thread: Sitting back...waiting.

    Sitting back...waiting.

    We've seen Rafa sitting back in the big games and defending and its not great to watch as a fan but as more and more money is poured into the top six sides it's now looking like managers and teams will pick their playing games and then they will pick their sitting back games .I can see in the next few years 25 points keeping you in the premiership

    It would really be something to have 25 keep you in the league and i'm not sure i can see it getting that low personally but the total does seem to get lower each season or maybe not lower but in the lower 30s bracket rather than the upper 30/40 points.

    I think the record for survival is 34 or 35 so we're not that far away

    This is the future of the game until they actually sort out fair play financial rules. We'll get an exception to the rule once in a while but not that often.
