    You know, sometimes you can pass the ball too much. I think Barca pass it better than most teams and to an extent mesmerise the opposition. This gives impressive possession stats.

    Lets take Arsenal as an example in this case (i could have chosen any team) the passing in some games is very good and accurate and the possession would suggest they are the better team. However their position in the league belies the success of their approach. The result is that their manager and supporters think that they were unlucky/robbed not to win.

    So, in conclusion do you need more than one method of play according to the opposition? If so shouldn't the manager, if experienced enough be prepared to alter tactics when need arises? Do you keep on playing 'Plan A' when it is obvious to everyone that it isn't working?

    If you do, do other teams 'pass you by' so to speak?

    On every board there's a little group of boys playing together for comfort and security. You know the ones, laughing at each others childish emoticon posting. And yes, i am a spurs fan however one thats lacking in class, style and a basic understanding of written English to be a true Lillywhite.

    Oh please, be original if nothing else. I've been on boards for years and silly replies like that have been done to death. Next it will be 'haven't you got school on monday morning'?

    If you don't like my post, so what. It really isn't that important whether you do or not.

    Yes indeed, more than capable of working it out for yourself but incapable of stopping yourself posting

    Yet another senior member that just can't stop posting. If you don't know what it is about then you must be thick.

    Did this article really merit the abuse that it received?
    If you don't like it, then just ignore it.
    Massive overreaction.
