because any normal bloke knows its the easiest way to get a win against us. why play open when you can easily beat us by playing on the counter? we have no box threat! well get the ball wide and wont put the ball in the box cos theres nothing in there! all you have to do is get compact and we wont break you down! then counter....fucking easy game against these wankers!Yet almost every one of the defeats we've had have been inflicted on us by pretty much their tactics.
Sit deep, defend well, hit very accurate counters and take your chances.
