I like the guy but our style of football is fucking dull now.
Teams would have bitten our arm off for AzzaBlud in recent times (and obviously did for Bale) and we spent a shitload of money on Lamela to replace him. Add the emergence of Townsend and we have some real ability mixed with pace on the flanks... But they either 1) beat their man and play it sideways to our number 10 or number 9 or 2) beat their man and stick it in the box to Soldado on his own. Usually against at least 4 men.
Every time we break we know 1) or 2) will happen. And it didnt use to be like that. The most dangerous a team can ever be (IMO) is on the counter, and we have a side set up to do it... Yet we dont move with pace or support Soldado in the box at any point
