Match of the Day - 2014/15

[hutton who blue]

I loved the analysis of the Rags. They were desperate to show how the tactic of lumping the ball to the Spitting Elbow (S.E) didn't work. They said it didn't work because the three midfielders did not 'box' him ! It was explained that meant standing close enough to him to pick up the knock downs when he won a challenge. They then went on to show four clips from the match where S.E. jumped and challenged for the ball, in three of the challenges the Southampton defender casually headed the ball away totally unconcerned about what S.E. was doing.

So not only was the tactic not working because the 'box' men were nowhere near him but it wasn't working because S.E. didn't have the ability to win the ball in the first place. A fact that appeared totally lost on the pundit.

Quite right mate. Long ball team under Ferguson, they always have been. It's worked for them. Ferguson and his sycophants will attempt to tell you different but they were Wimbledon with more expensive players.
