Embittered fan alert


Coming from you I'll take that as a compliment!

And if you think what he did was tactical genius that's your business but to me it's nothing more than what small clubs do when they're scared of getting a beating. As I pointed out, any manager can set a team up to do what they did.

Well, except Rodgers then. We almost always need to outscore our opponents and clean sheets come once in a lifetime. If any manager could set a team to park the bus, there would have been tons of nil - nil, especially by the weaker teams fighting relegation, but fact is, they lose a lot of games, so your theory hardly holds.

Read my post vish (I know it's an alien concept to you to actually read what people say). I said that any on CAN do that but not that everyone DOES do it. And for the most part it is what the underdog will do. Set themselves up to not be beaten and if they get a win it's a bonus. Just like your man Maureen did.

But I have no problems with what Rodgers did that day. We code played to not lose and still lost and then he'd have been crucified for not playing to our strengths. We may also have done what the chavs did and win it but we'll never know.

Out scoring the opposition is very important.

I don't think it's true it's the preserve of the underdogs man United under ferguson used to do it defend and hit on the break they best us a few times with that tactic

I don't consider Utd's counter attacking style bus parking in the same way as Chelsea, West Ham, Stoke etc have done. At least Utd were always looking to attack regardless of how much pressure they were under. The smaller clubs tend to just sit back and rely on a mistake to set up an attack, as Chelsea did, but mainly just want to clear their lines.

Chelsea park the bus when they need to, that's why their record against the top teams is so impressive. They beat most of the top teams at home and take a draw away from home. This will win them the title.
