I'd hazard a guess that the 'school of science' we allege to play to' has been closed for nearly 30 years.......not just recently. We are what we are, some people thing we're something we're plainly not and haven't been for a very long time.
Just because we haven't been winning things it does not mean we haven't been trying to do things correctly. We have never resorted to "hoof all" as our standard game plan. Until now. West Brom was a disgrace. Bournemouth could be very similar.
