Crystal Palace v Everton 31 January 2015 - From the Palace end.

Opposing FBs used to mark our wingers. Now they mark our FBs. Baines in particular always has a man marking him whenever he's in the opposition half.

This is partly what has been said this season that other managers have got wise to the RM football philosophy. Hence our poor results.

Rom put in a serious shift , needs more support but never stopped running

Disagree with that. He needs to do more, especially when we don't have the ball. So many times on Sat when we were defending, and he didn't come across to the side where the ball was, so that when we one it back or cleared it, he was nowhere near enough to get on the end of it, or even apply any pressure to the opposing players who received it.

Rom looks like he's pressing the opposition but never actually puts in a challenge.

Big Dunc used to press an opposition just be standing there...
