Again it is you who is talking complete bull.
We try to contain them with numbers on our left but using more and more players to cover, the players on the right do nothing and eventually get exposed. They simply don't see the play. They don't see it because they aren't capable of playing it. That's the goal. watch it. Watch it again and keep watching until you actually understand what has happened. I don't expect clodhopping defenders to see it at first.. but try and try again..and maybe you too will understand.
There is a reason why there is not one single top manager from these shores in world football today. Strongest league in the world they say.. All those players, pundits and hacks like you. Yet not 1.. Not one single top level player or manager.. Hmmm.
From where I am sitting you simply cannot pit the likes of Modric against the likes of Jordan Henderson. Not IF you have genuine ambition to win. Certainly not when you have a few others who can play it short and cute as they do. This is what you cannot see. Running is important when you have a team flush with WC talent in their prime, we havent been that for 2-3 years.
Jurgen himself has an issue here too. It's not that he doesn't see it, but he continually THINKS he can get past it. It might happen on occasion but in general play, most of those Spanish sides or a mean Italian one - will do you and find that weakness out.
And on the Spurs final.. I certainly was shitting it - as any Red with half a brain or indeed a pair of eyes should have been. You and all your bravado mates with their red glasses can say what you like.. That penalty swung that game massively. It was beyond harsh and we would NEVER have stopped going on about it had it gone against us. No penalty at that crazy early stage - and our nerves build and build. I don't even want to think about it. That is still the only final we have actually won outside of the 2 penalty shoot outs last season.
BUT back to Elliott your entire diatribe against him is once again NOT backed up by the facts. Look at our best form this season and look at our worst, Elliott is not an answer to our problems but he sure as shit isn't the cause.
You are dancing in circles because you are shit scared that more and more eyes are turning towards the player you love most. That would also be totally unfair but it seems to be something you are acutely aware of.
