Re: Could other small clubs such as Blackburn adopt Luton's "pub team" tactics as a route to the Prem ?

In the Champions league final against Inter Man City abandoned their passing game once they went in front. They completely parked the bus. Even Pep Guardiola realised that winning the Champions league was far, far more important than sticking to any football philosophy he had.

Bottom line is the history books only ever show what you've achieved, never how many passes you made to score a goal.

Re: The most annoying thing for me is….

The problem is the way we want to play in its purest form doesn't work in the Prem.

It never worked for the likes of Norwich and I doubt it'll ever work for us.

Unless we become more pragmatic we'll almost certainly get relegated whenever we return to the Prem.

It simply can't work unless we adapt.
