We're looking every inch a long ball side today.

I think today is a slightly exceptional circumstance.

Almost every game has been a slightly exceptional circumstance. Watch Southampton or Swansea against the big sides - they can still keep the ball.

Indeed. The sad truth is, in my opinion, that we just aren't capable of doing so. Because we aren't very good at all.

Once City get the first they will get 5 or 6
What makes you think they will break down our defence?

Our defence.

We have 3 huge forwards, it was always his game plan to knock it long....and it's in my opinion

Who barely ever play at the same time? We don't tend to put it up to Benteke, we tend to look for the flanks.

We absolutely look to get it from Guzan to Benteke.

I can't say it bothers me either way, but we're definitely more of a long ball team than a short passing team.

Can't agree with you in all the games I've seen this year...apart from the Arsenal and Norwich game we didn't tend to do it much....the others I watched live and that's all we did, others would agree.

Therefore as I have said before, when we play well we don't go long.

Another example as well ball into Kozak's feet and it results in an opportunity.
