Small pitch plays into the oppo hands. Amount of times teams come and just defend.

Well it's a bit difficult with the stands where they are, I mean what do you propose, we build a whole new stadium or something? Ludicrous.

Martin Jol was the last manager who got this. Lennon, Defoe, etcetera. Then Redknapp went and signed the biggest player he could find (Crouchy) and it all went downhill.

Smaller pitch helps our press. Swings & roundabouts.

It does help when Dembele takes up half the field by just standing there.

teams will still defend just as deep and just as narrow, i don't see how it would help.

If they defend just as narrow it would mean there's even more room out wide for our full backs?

Highbury was tiny, didn't see to stop Arsenal winning things.

I'm pretty sure they all have to be regulation size of 105m x 68m, the FA makes allowances for stadiums that can't accommodate this size (like WHL).
