Hi everybody,
Been reading this board daily since May Finally registered now, one question i would like to ask is why do DJ set up our side in two banks of four when opposition has the ball with nobody wanting to close the ball down, which results in the opposition players having so much time to attack our penalty area and fire shots goalwards. Surely if our midfielders closed the ball down instead of trying to usher players into other areas this would cut down the risk on our defece. Are our midfielders told not to try and win a fifty fifty challenge for the risk of losing this defensive shape. What are your views on this.

Welcolme Good post, i agree it was our centre midfield giving Norwich too much space that put our defence under so much presure.
