As much as some people don't want to accept it, building from the back gives a much better chance of winning the league. Shame we have seen it as a secondary issue for a few years now. I am more than happy for Liverpool to defend like idiots though, long may it continue.
There is a saying in American football: Offense wins games; defence wins championships. There is more than a ring of truth to that.
Bobby had the right idea; get the defence solid and settled first, then play more expansive football. Ask Tottenham, the rags and many others if Mancini knew what he was doing.
