Don't forget snakey we play like this because we are the youngest team in the PREM
what has age got to do with it? My team of choice are reputed for playing the best passing game in Div3, and are on average far younger than the Liverpool team. And that in a notoriously difficult division to have a passing game.
We didn't get where we are today(top of the PREM,game in hand ) without building on solid foundations,Hamman, Smicer, Redknapp,Barmby, Berger, McAllister,Gerrard are all capable of playing a bit(I do seem to recall they actually passed to each other on one occasion, was that Barca or Roma?) and regularly feed through balls through to Owen which I find rather entertaining as more often than not he scores from them
I predict in 3 years time we'll have a couple of titles in the bag and return gradually to a more measured passing game like in days of yore, when we won 18 titles and 4 european cups.
Very unlikely I'd say. They play like that cos Frog eyes tells em to.
tres constructive
Or maybe for constantly reminding how succesful they were in those important cup competitions last year.
oops
In the Worthless cup they played Wycombe in the semis and Birmingham in the final. Not exactly the cream of Europe.
They played the opposition they were drawn against.
Or for Phil( I won't shake his hand coz he's almost had his leg broken by my player) Thompson
That would be almost,as in slight contact with his little toe,I'm all for a bit of passion from players and manager alike.
And all for violent 2 footed tackles as well then
When Roy Keane(is he the benchmark?) set's us a better example we may well follow suit
Or for their shameful treatment of out of favour players (ie Westerveld, Fowler)
Allowing them to go to pastures new, at bargain prices, how dare we?
Or allowing to believe they're wanted at the club only to sign 2 replacement players in a week after 1 mistakethe message is clear ship up or ship out,no more pussyfooting about like Evans did.It takes a bit of ruthlessness to get results.
