They keep it very simple

Incredibly well drilled defensively, only the very best open them up with ease. Extremely physical, so every game against them is a test of courage character. They WILL happily look to injure an opponent. They WILL go through tackles horribly. Very very streetwise. They’ll dive, cheat, wind players up. Absolute masters of the dark arts. They play fast, direct football with very physical strikers up front. They don’t need to play well at all to generate chances. They barely need to see any of the ball to get a few chances.

This makes them limited, but every season they’ll do enough to scramble to safety with relative comfort, so they can load up and do it all again.

They are also utter s**t bags. I hate them (strong word, used intentionally) more than almost any other club. I’m dreading playing against them, as they’re going to do all the above and beat us twice.
