What the hell sort of defending was that?! How long are these two/three going to be allowed to continue?

Another shocker from the central defence.  I absolutely cannot wait to see the back of that pair.

He does. Just think how fucking terrible we'd be if he tried to get us to attack.

Never mind the defending what is the fukin point of playing such an attacking line up and once again sitting back.  Have they ever not scored against us at Villa playing this method....tosser.

We've picked a more positive line up but we're still being quite negative on the pitch. The defence really is not very good at all, sadly and that's what tends to cost us.

Sitting back and defending and hitting teams on the break is a decent tactic if you can:

a) defend
b) pass the ball quickly and accurately forwards towards the opponents goal.

Unfortunately we can do neither.
