    1. At times over half your outfield side end up in your own final third
    2. If the idea is to draw the opposition out then it ain't working, especially at home.partly hence the better away form, only partly, cos we've only paid bottom half sides so far.
    3. Inevitably somebody ends up with a boot upfield and, see point 1, the other side wins it and starts their own attack cox all our players are in our penalty area.
    4. Occasionally somebody makes a mistake and the opposition score
    5. Kane, who can do better, just passes it straight back to the defender who passed it to him
    6. It saps the intensity out of our players
    7. We have young, inexperienced defenders. All the more reason to get them less involved
    8. It is as boring as f#ck to watch

    Reasons for:
    Latest managerial trend. Occasionally comes off for pep. But he can sign an endless rosta of £100 million defenders.

    I wish we were as good as or even as good to watch as even 10% of that side!
