Swansea undone by this suicidal tendency so fashionable in football these days of "playing it out from the back".

It sounds good in theory but the reality is that Swansea player did what Howard did at OT and casually "passed" it to an opposition player.

There are times when aiming for Row ZZZ somewhere near the halfway line is your best plan.

Especially in the dying minutes of a game.

The first manager to break ranks from the new orthodoxy is going to reap rewards, IMO

Eh they played well enough to win methinks. They were just spent at the 80th min and Eriksen just skipped around their defense.

yid4lif is going to come on now be all sensable, and admit his side were 2nd best plus got all the calls. Still I vote that we ban him out of spite and jealousy.

clueless mate, you do realise martinez instilled this into them in the 3rd division? since then they've won the league 1 title, championship play off, the carling cup and are a settled top half prem team this season. one loss to a jammy spurs and they should get rid of their style?

That's the same style of play our manager believes in

We were very lucky. I am not complaining though.

Not very often I am called sensible so thanks for that! The stewards at the Lane might disagree

Nothing wrong with playing it out from the back. We just need to find a way to become a lot more creative in midfield and clinical in attack.

Probably one player short of being able to do that.

the system works fine if you have someone like ashley williams or john stones. it's when you have a back 3 of howard, jagielka and distin - you're made to look a moron for deploying it
