So without necessarily blaming any individuals, what do you guys think is the root of our problems?
it's easy to blame AVB and his tactics...
However, for me, I find it hard to believe tactics alone can see a team (who are not crap) lose by a 6 goal margin, to anyone.
Our formation should not really be a reason why we can't string more than 2 direct passes together, why we can't play any 1-2's or why we can't play any through balls. Or is it?
Watching Man City, Assnil, Chelsea, Liverpool and even Swansea and Southampton, they're all playing pass and go, direct football, which is silky smooth and reminiscent of a not-so-long-ago Spurs era, with Modders, VDV and Bale.
Given that the above 3 players are no longer at the club, perhaps it's no coincidence that our football style has diminished so acutely?
Thoughts?
