then why would he pick the same team as last week?

the players he picked today weren't the players you would pick to close off the game and play for a draw.

I think our recent poor away performances have come from trying to be more attacking if anything. Against Cardiff and West Ham it nearly worked, only to be undone by individual errors. The last three though, we have just left too much space in our own half.

When we were getting draws against Palace and Sunderland over Xmas, we were set up much more defensively.

        Johnson for Howson. Is that attacking now? As you say it was shoring things up. Defensive (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Mar 29, 21:49:58
