Did Leicester 'pick us off' or simply play a similar game? In the game I watched either team could have won it, but the Foxes got the goal and held on to it in much the same way as the Rs have been doing all season.
Leicester sat back, soaked up our sideways possession of the ball and hit us repeatedly on the counter in the second half. As mentioned above, IMHO, neither Barton nor Carroll are DCMs. As dominant as we were in the first half, Leicester could also have scored 2 or 3 more in the second half
I don't necessarily think Harry is a negative manager, I just think he is setting up our team to be consistent due to the constraints of having to get promotion. The financial implications of us not getting up this season would be devastating. I think too many teams fear losing now due to pressure that owners put on managers to achieve immediate results due to the huge sums of money at stake.IMO, 4-2-3-1 is growing for this exact reason. Let's not lose the point we already have syndrome.
I think we have that mentality which is one of a team that's trying not to get relegated. We should be all over teams with the difference in finances and personnel but redknapp is the most negative manager in decades. Man U fans wouldn't accept trying to grind out 1-0s every week nor should we. Warnock played a very attacking 4231 which had us scoring 2 or more in the championship every week, the difference is the 3, warnock played mackie, taarabt and one other. Redknapp plays O'Neill, Jenas etc Have we seen kranjcar/benayoun in the middle of hoilett and Philips yet? Then there's Redknapp only having one fit forward all season which is something I and many others complained about in the summer.
We did our serious scoring in the first ten games that season, there were plenty of boring 0-0 and 1-0s as well, you've very selective memory at times...
I know we tightened up near the end of the season but the circumstances were exceptional. The point is that season was far more enjoyable than this one, do you disagree with that? We haven't had a hugely enjoyable game yet that resulted in a W L or D.
