MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Dear oh dear. How is playing to your strength and nullifying your opponent with a firm defense undignified?Am I to assume you'd rather be gung-ho and risk getting scalped by a direct rival but score some points on the football morality table instead? I'd bite your hand off right now for a point away to the joint league favorites. Not gung-ho but at least good COUNTER ATTACKING FOOTBALL. Not just park the bus and not having a shot on target until the 70th min or something like that. All I ask for is at least giving it a right go like we did in 13-14 and not park it until a lucky break like we did last season.Also playing to your strength which is counter attacking football, the only thing we are great at. It would be undignified if we just camp around our box for the whole match as if we are Watford or some small club with limited players.

I'd bite your hand off right now for a point away to the joint league favorites. predictable response.There's this thing called balance and going all out defensive against any half decent team we face isn't necessarily playing to our strength and the best or only way to get a result. Any team working with our budget and transfer spending over the last 10 years which is close to £1billion has the responsibility to entertain just as much as win as much as possible.This we are the underdogs against any half decent teams domestically and in europe mentality is one of the few things holding us back. How are players like hazard,Fabregas,Willian Oscar et al suppose to play to their full potential in big games when they are handicapped both tactically and mentally (The mentality thats been instilled into them i.e you are not good enough to go toe to toe with the almighty Arsenal, Liverpool, mancity, psg etc so park that damn bus all night long)And evidently that same mentality has rubbed off on some of our fans. A club of our status and ability shouldn't have to park the bus in order to get a result in virtually every big game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Just as predicted in preseason, his big game tactic finally got found out. Usually they would be limited to a couple of chances max the whole match, but now they could have been 5-0 up by half time. I fear for us, I really do especially if we do not make any new signing. zolayes and The Rising Sun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Too much prima donnas here. Have you guys not learned anything by now? A lot of the time we suck first half and improve the second half. Now I don't like it that we always have Ramires in the big game but it is what is.

Fernando 6,585 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Right, a lot of improvement. Well when most of you guys was debating the whole medical staff I was saying how woeful Ivanovic is and yet still keeps picking him. But don't worry Mourinho will say something stupid and most of you guys will focus on that and forget the important thing that is under the hood...

Fernando 6,585 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I wish I was a reporter to ask the good questions. About hazard, Fabregas, and especially Ivanovic. But no they will ask about penalty, of side goal and then mourinho says stupid stuff and people get all heated up. But neglect the important stuff. Ridiculous people. Getting tired of all the controversy and silly mind games. Cosmin, kellzfresh, DYC. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
