In Defence of Kamara, he was facing his own goal for the first cock-up, it was Emi who could well see the danger but still passed to him, wasn't impressed with our goalkeeper today, he had no chance with the goals but over did the foot on top of the ball, posturing I call it.

Franco Baresi and Shaun Teale is a great quote.
But still plenty of positives for me from yesterday.

Martinez should be smart enough to know when the opposition have their 'forward press' in position and use another option. He has a great throw (used a lot for Argentina in the World Cup) and could easily bypass the forward press when required.

Another great article Dave.

I think we’re asking to much of our defence giving them options,or maybe some of them are being bloody minded and playing from the back regardless, as instructed.

Two or three long kicks down the pitch early on - when we look set for a short, would surely get the opposition thinking about how we'll play it out.

I hope we've learned our lesson in the last two home games.

Great article as always. A solution to playing out from the back is to copy what they do in American football when the defence blitzes the quarter back and he sees it. The keeper should throw the ball to the midfield as the opposition are likely to have overcommitted their midfield in the press and we should have some midfielders in space.
