You can play well and win
You can play well and lose
You can play poorly and win
You can play poorly and lose
Win lose or draw I just want us to play Well... It is as simple as that
Weâve had fewer nail biting games this season and also a few less âblitzkriegâ performances where weâve blown the oppo away.
Those things are connected - we arenât over-committing and attempting to overwhelm opponents the way we did.
That means we can sit on a lead and play our way in. Or sit at 0-0 confident that eventually a breakthrough will come.
Unfortunately the amount of football on telly breeds the kind of reading of games youâre displaying here.
Fans lose sight of the fact there are two teams on the pitch trying to do things.
Itâs not a TV series - âAch season 3 was great with the Russians but o didnât like season 4 when the bad guys were the Yakuzaâ.
We generally - at full strength or close to - donât give the oppo a chance they donât have. We did last season and it hurt us.
Our football this season is significantly advanced on last season - it just isnât âHail Maryâ anymore.
Part of the reason it was so exhilarating last season was that it was - at times - allowing us to over-achieve.
We just achieve now. Week in week out.
I love it.
