I agree we don't always play passing football

But we don't play long ball like them. Yesterday I thought (admittedly from the sky highlights) we at least started trying to pass it although reverted to more long ball stuff as the game went on. I think though that's also a reflection of how games against then tend to go. Their tactics and style mean that every game almost inevitably becomes a scrap. For example we didn't play much long ball stuff away at spurs where both teams tried to pass it.
