MikeO Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 "A very good team they may be, but it's hard for broadcasters to whip up enthusiasm for a team who played much of last season without strikers. (If done by an Italian coach, this would be seen as tactical genius; successfully deployed by injury-depleted Moyes, it was taken as proof that 4-5-1 is strangling the life from the league)." Hmmm....not sure about that. Don't think he's crediting football fans with much intelligence. Anyone with a passing knowledge of the game gave us due respect last year. Lazy writing I think, manufacturing evidence with little or no basis in reality to back up his point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They paid us lip service really, mentioned the strikers but it only when it became a bandwagon kind of thing about a month and half into Cahill playing up front.
