It’s funny because when at Wembley last season we pushed our FB’s right up the pitch with a diamond in midfield and predictably left acres of space in behind ( which luckily for us didn’t lead to us being 3 or 4 down at HT due to Liverpool’s wastefulness in front of goal), we were deemed naive.
I remember Neville going on and on about it. Now we try a more pragmatic ( and in my view correct) approach without our best player and best midfielder and we’re panned by the same critics.
Personally I’ve always wanted us to have a more flexible approach to certain teams after seeing us suffer in exactly the same way again and again.
Like everyone I’d prefer us to take on, dominate and beat all before us no matter the opposition like City have and now Liverpool, but there’s more than one way to skin a cat.
