KIK - I agree that's no-ones immune but there's a difference of opinion re whether that was design or default. I vote for default - Kenny has never played long ball
KK used to play the long ball down the channels all the time, particularly at blackburn - get the speddy winger onto it, then knock it in the box for the big lad.
Sutton was a sack of sh*te, and only looked good because of the amount of long balls played into him for shearer to run onto.
He inherited a great team from fagan, and then bought some great players - BUT he has never rebuilt a side in the way that he needs to now.
I'd love for him to succeed, but I just can't see it happening.
