Or start playing it long over the heads of our talented midfield players and missing out the strongest areas of our team that succeeds in them just getting sore necks by looking to the sky for most of the game.
Or do we keep the ball and go forward in a sensible manner and manage the game in a way there is no panic or lose any goals, such as what happened on Saturday.
If you are wishing the 1st option then thank god Peter has the only opinion that counts because for me he has got it right in almost every game. The fact we are top of the league is evidence of that
Fatfan is looking for an argument! Any manager of any quality is fully aware of the importance of goal difference and with the opposition down to 10 men and your own team full of attacking and fast individuals, - it is simply crazy not to go for extra goals, - as you have the extra man to defend an unlikely break out from the opposition. High pressing ensures the team at 0-2 with 10 men are encamped in their own half. End of.
