How would you play?

Agreed AO.

And agreed Hugh, against Chelski with out best players missing we had to play like that. I'd of gone about it in the same way.

Not pretty, depressing but with the squad we've got that is what we have to do to try and get points.

As I've said, Rafa is dealing the hand he has been dealt by fatso.

But, I'd like to have seen us a little less negative. Not in the way we set up because tactically I thought that was excellent and we really restricted Chelsea but in the way we behaved when we had the ball. Too many lumps up to a too-isolated Rondon and not enough support when we did have the ball.

The stats were 82% to 18% possession and at home that's pretty galling.

we have more attacking players than we do defensive

what we dont have is an attack minded manager

we have a manager affraid to loose

we have a manager that thinks these daus you can sit back and defend

other managers have worked that style out

and whilst doing this knowing your only other tctic is to hoy it up front

a bit like an injured boxer sitting on the ropes with one broken hand

eventually you will take the ko blow
