This "total football" I keep seeing mentioned.... what exactly has been the difference? We hoof it long 10% less? Is that it?
It's a joke that this brand of football we're supposedly playing is fast paced and attacking minded. Utter rubbish. We barely had a shot on goal in the second half and those subs certainly didn't intend any fast paced attacking football.
Herbert I'm afraid is a PR master and knows how to self preserve via media comments that are so far off the mark. He's a coach that only makes selection changes when forced to by injury or suspension - he doesn't want to stick his neck out and look like he's made a call.
If he has any self respect and wants to retain any dignity, the Ni are bottom and he needs to step down and admit the Nix and he are currently not a good fit. He isn't the best coach for te club anymore. Simple.
