Why can't the players be told to go out and play spontaneously, like we did for our school teams. Tactics are ruining the game for the paying public. Did Le Tissier need coaching or tactics. No, he played off the cuff.
Hello,
As it turned out the environment was far from intimidating. It was
a real anticlimax and an utter damp squib. Especialy after Sky's over the top before the game build up of the supposed rivalry between the two clubs
I agree the long balls were just gobbled up by Pompey. Also the long punts were made after several crab passes during which Pompey could mark our men. why not hoof it up straight away if we had to resort to such tactics. I thought 1st half was the worst I had seen from Sts. forget about promotion.
