Low block? **** me some people read too much into football these days. I’d describe it as a no block, if I had to put a label on it, but I suspect your friend doesn’t watch us a lot to know.A Liverpool supporting friend of mine keeps insisting they’ll struggle to break us down and find space “because of our low block”. Regardless how many stats I throw at him about just how poor we are. Football fans the world over always take the pessimistic view of a match!

From one **** without any plan at all to another with one so rigid he thinks he's a genius.We don't play a 'low block' despite having one of the slowest and stupidest defences in the history of the PL.
In his pre-game press conference, RvN explained quite clearly how he is pleased with how our defensive structure is developing game by game.
He said that, because Wolves had fewer 'entries to our penalty area' than previous opponents, it showed that the shape was working. He said this with a straight face.
I fully expect him to set us up in the same way this evening. He is fixated on developing a shape and structure and isn't going to care who we are facing or what the opponent is expected to do to us.
Oh absolutely, just making up statements about what tactics we play despite knowing nothing about us or never seeing us play.I’d describe it as a no block, if I had to put a label on it, but I suspect your friend doesn’t watch us a lot to know.
At the end of the season, we'll all be looking back and saying this. Was stupidity and ignorance not to throw everything at getting him.I mean, Moyes was available wasn't he?

Exactly. Nobody knows who we did or didn’t approach before the appointments of Cooper and RVN.maybe we did? There's a reason we've ended up with RVN as the only ****er willing to take the job and it's probably the same reason Cooper was the only one in the summer.
No. But we know who would have been responsible for doing so....Exactly. Nobody knows who we did or didn’t approach before the appointments of Cooper and RVN.
No decent manager with any level of insight into how this club is run would take the job. None. All we'll be getting for the forseeable will be no marks looking for a swift pay day. We're ****ed beyond ****ed. & absolutely nobody is going to do anything about it until we're at least halfway down the championship & hit with a points deduction.No. But we know who would have been responsible for doing so....

he is hardly going to come out and say our defence is total dog toffee is he? the bottom line is that 80 percent of our current squad are not good enough at this level.We don't play a 'low block' despite having one of the slowest and stupidest defences in the history of the PL.
