In these big games, we don’t seem to have any tactics we adopt throughout the game. We just play our way and hope it’s good enough to beat what’s in front of us on the day. Teams like united seem to have phases where their football and shape changes completely. We are always tactically beaten, despite often dominating games. Watch us huff and puff now, whilst united remain resilient, slow the game down, and look to win free kicks.
I don’t know if it’s even a case of having a plan B. It just surprises me how there’s not, for example, 20 minute phases of play where we have a plan for those periods depending on the score line. All we seem to do is play exactly the same for 90 minutes regardless.
