Cliche spread betting - it could catch on

Some game this. Twice in time it's took me to write this post

I know someone who shouldn't!

If Family Fortunes asked 100 people 'name a team you don't want to concede early against in the Champions League' I reckon Inter Milan would get you on the board. What a calamity for Barca

That's 2 yellows mate, he should be off!

You say using the example of playing against a top 3 side is flawed but then go on to use Luton as an example of good defending when we were backs to the wall with 10 men and had no choice! As for Hull, high line cost us again. And Plymouth did to us exactly what Sheff U did so its not just...

But the players who played in the 5 earlier in the season have by and large neem available.

If he can get Costa over, he's starting!

Yes, I said we shouldn't move away from 5 at the back. But we did, and we were doing fine with a 4. But since then teams have found away to play against it, and while that isn't too much of an issue at home it definitely is away and we havent addressed it so I think it's something we should have...

He'll have our full support. He had it Saturday, it didn't do much good.

We played 5 at the back and had our best spell of the season. You're actually trying to downplay how good that run was by arguing some good performances were lucky! And I'm not saying we should go back to 5 at the back and stick to it, I'm saying there are certain games where we should and...

Pissed?

You can quote all the stats you want but our tactics v Sheff and Plymouth played right into their hands. Watch the games again. They let us have the ball and hit us on the break taking advantage of our high line. Sheff U lost their next 3 games, they dominated possesion in all 3, we got our...

I don't agree with a lot of that. We have become too predictable and while that doesn't seem to matter too much at home it's cost us away. I agree about the first goal though we need to find a way to be getting back into games otherwise if we concede first we may as well all go home.
