Tevez even got to the point where he was picking the ball up ten yards inside our half.
We are very one dimensional, and the essence of a successful team is that they play to the invididual strengths of the strikers as some form of rotational attack, Mario, Edin, and Carlos that gives defences much more to think about as to which way things will pan out. We are very predictable and even mediocre and poor sides can handle that.
I think that if there is a second dimension and a Plan A₂ is a quick prayer along the back four that one of the above will come up with a piece of individual brilliance!<br /><br />-- Fri Mar 11, 2011 8:02 am --<br /><br />
I watched Inter v Genoa the other night. I texted my son to tell him it was on and he said he had fallen out with Italian football, but I persevered and within ten minutes came to the conclusion that Inter played the same monotonous passing game starting at the back with the two CBs - sideways, forward a touch, back, sideways! Had to laugh when Genoa scored first, but then Inter had the penultimate last five laughs, even though Genoa had the last one. 5-1 to Inter.
Either we are not as good as we think we are, or we are but a bit of fine tuning away from where we would want to be. Problems is, who's got the screwdriver? And is it a screwdriver that's needed?
