As with at the weekend, if you're selecting that sort of side - attack minded, technical players - simply have to have the game go in a certain way. Control of the ball, control of the game, force them back and play in their half. Pass, move, be patient in opening them up, football them to death. This probably also means being patient and having spells of possession, to pre-empt the 'not playing it forward enough, get it forward quicker' bollocks we get most weeks from fans/media alike.
We didn't manage it against Watford and instead got a scrappy game where the chance to get the ball down and construct the play disappeared after the opening quarter of an hour. At home tonight against one of the struggling teams in the league we simply must find a way to play our game, I don't want to see it end to end.
