Don't think he's "Suddenly realised" anything. Every game is contested between two teams - both having plans and tactics, in the case of teams that come to spoil and sit back we are given the ball as they don't venture far from their own goal [Huddersfield, Blackburn, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland etc etc] so that puts the onus on US to attack - the aternative being a none-contest if everyone sits back awaiting the opposition - Last night - and against Ipswich twice, Leicester twice and a few others - games you give as examples of how we played well - we didn't come up against a team not prepared to give it a go - and the result was an open attacking game that suits us and our counter attacking style... and resulted in 3 points in the bag in each case - some luckily - but an OPEN game is where we will excel. Farke cannot dictate what the opposition does, he can only plan to counter it, and if we come up short it's not because of lack of effort - more a case of a lack of ability - ie - few players with the skills to unlock packed defences.
