In past seasons, we never really had a problem dealing physically with such teams as Stoke once Rafa had the measure of these more physical teams. In essense, we had to press them and let them know we were there. Roy's approach is to stand off and sit back, which immediately gives them the upper hand. How he can not see that is just unbelievable.
So, no, I don't agree that we are not physical enough, it's the tactics.
