There is a good way to play defensive football, and defensive football isn't automatically "wrong", but this was just baaaad.
Yeah, I think this is the key point here. There's nothing wrong with playing a defensive style, but the problem with yesterday was that the team clearly didn't know how to park the bus, the counterattacking was non-existent, and we were reduced to trying to win corners/set pieces to create scoring opportunities when in their half rather than trying to construct them in a structured way (even through counterattacking). And to cap it all off, Heraf then publically throws the players under the bus straight after the game, when he himself set them up to fail by not allowing them to play a style that they're more comfortable with/better suited to.
And the question then is - why would you want to play for a guy who basically thinks and says that you're shark, and who isn't prepared to work with you to come up with a system/structure that suits the players' and team's abilities better?
