do you not think there is an element that we have been found out?

first season in the prem under Lambert we were an unknown quantity. Same with Snodgrass last season - he was relatively unknown and cause defenders real problems.

Now everyone in the league knows all about our strengths and weaknesses. They found out last season that by stopping Hoolahan, you nullified our attacking threat. They found out that Holt will try to win cheap free kicks. Now, they now Snodgrass always cuts inside and also goes to ground easily.

The longer you are in the Premier League, the more the opposition find out about you.

        not sure how changing to 3 at the back will make us more of an attacking force (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 2, 22:34:14
