I am not a great fan of slow possession football, beyond the fact that the opposition can not score when we have the ball. I just find it incredibly dull. Until they released the killer pass to Messi, even the tika-taka Barcelona style with Xavi and Iniesta left me cold. Give me cut and thrust any time.
It seems that sides having only 30% possession, as we did yesterday, often end up winning these days so hopefully the penny will drop and the game will be more exciting for it.
As for players going down too easily and Evans and Raynor moaning, that was their reputation when their teams played against us so it may be fair comment but doesn't worry me too much. Every team has a player or two that behaves similarly.
