firstly we’re at home. Woolwich played more reserved at city. It wasn’t everyone behind the ball, clearing it up to no one. They got more defensive towards the end of the game. We’re also at different stages as teams. Early Arteta Woolwich had loads of performances where they tried to be the dominant team and got taken apart by teams being Calculating and sucker punching them. They had to go through that period. People conveniently forget thatSo why didn't he?
That lot went to City and sat behind the ball and got the point they were looking for, a point that has kept them in the race to win the league and yet there's fans here talking about philosophies and "attacking football" as we fight to hold 5th place.
The gap is a chasm and it's made worse by the fact we finished above these for a few years only for them to win silverware during it and to bounce back and challenge for leagues while we harp on about a fraudster being right about not employing a set piece coach cos he has Mile Jedinak and insisting on playing a high line with all out attack no matter the opposition.
What a great mentality that will breed into the players eh?
We could be down to 9 against Chelsea at home or we could have a chance to stop the scum winning the league, doesn't matter cos we'll play naive football to please the so called "fans".
