Personally, i'd sooner see us bring in the 2023 version of John Fashanu and Vinny Jones and just lump the fucker forward into the box all game and kick the opposition at every opportunity than watch us fanny about with it like that in our half. Av it !Seriously though, i want Emery to play to the current players strengths or buy in the exact players he needs to play his way and get results playing decent football. If the players we have can't do what he wants them to for the rest of the season he shouldn't try it. Leicesters first goal was one of the most embarrassing i've seen us give away, we looked a right bunch of chumps. He has of course got a hell of a lot right so far though.
Nigel Spink, rolls the ball to Platty,he moves it onto Paul McGrath and onto Tony Daly,Tony Daly down the wing like a torpedo,puts the ball up in the aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrr…………for Tony Cascarino… ( to balloon over the bar….)
I much preferred the random element of hoofball to all this tippy tappy nonsense.Football is so dull these days!When did you last see someone bury one from 40 yards? Game's gone.

Game's gone. I agree with you regarding attacking play, but I'm not sure that building up from the back means that still cant be a deployed. I really don't enjoy watching Manchester City or Spain play because despite having good technical players you want someone to hit a screamer.But Liverpool and Manchester united played out from the back and still were able to play quick and entertaining attacking play.
I caught Man United at Spurs on Saturday from 1979 and Bailey was rolling out short then so Man United could play out from the back. Nothing new under the sun.
