We need to go back to playing without fear for the rest of the season

Whilst we did not always get the results we deserved due to bad luck/defensive errors we played far, far better earlier in the season when we played our high tempo pressing game and showed real attacking intent. Dropping Ruddy and Martin (whose disastrous stint at CB seems to have now also ruined him as a right back) should at least reduce the errors at the back and we should stick with another defensively minded midfielder next to Tettey but other than that I think we need to get back to being positive. I think we sat off them today and tried to let them have the ball in front of us but it just made us passive.

at home keeping it tight has worked in some games but it's not working away from home so we may as well go for it now and try and pick up some three point hauls. It won't always work but if we can win two or three it could make all the difference.
