Are you happy to keep employing those tactics in the "bigger" games or does it go against the clubs philosophy - interested in peoples thoughts on this one, i've had a few mixed debates.

It's win or loose ..It's not how you play the game, it's how you win it.

If it's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game, what's the big deal about getting trophies just for playing the game?

Tactics have been more important than ever, be it total football or tiki taka or park the bus or gung-ho, each generation has come with its tactic , and each tactic changes the way, we see football today but if we take a look closely, no tactic has been more practical and useful then parking the bus .

  • Greece won the 2004 Euros amid harsh criticism that they were boring (Park the bus)
  • Barcelona won the 2009,2011 La Liga, Champions League amid harsh criticism that they were boring (tiki taka)
  • Inter Milan won the 2010 Serie A, Champions League amid harsh criticism that they were boring (Park the bus)
  • Atletico Madrid won the 2013 La Liga, amid harsh criticism that they were boring (Park the bus)
  • Chelsea won the 2012 and 2014 Champions League, Premier League amid harsh criticism that they were boring (Park the bus)
  • Leicester won the 2015 Premier League amid harsh criticism that they are the worst at passing in the Premier League and average only 40% possession (gung-ho)

And at the end of the day, nobody cares how you play and how you win. If you lose the game, nobody gives a shit.
