I had Ken McNaught sitting in my living room a couple of months back organising a game against the Villa Old Starts (this sunday by the way) and he said when Villa played Bayern in 82 the game was pretty much brick up the goals and try n nick it 1-0 - in his own words...... so on that basis above, we can wipe off the Euro 82 win because we didnt "play mesmerically" that all fans seem to want nowadays...........
I dont care for tip tap football..... everyone wants to play like Arsenal, Barca and for some god-forsaken reason, Swansea........ and what is the sumtotal of all that - THEYVE ALL WON SWEET FA THIS SEASON........
Id much rather play like Chelsea and win the Champs League - and if anyone else thinks otherwise, then IMO theyre frankly deluded !
No, my point was that if RDM tried tactics like with WITH OUR CURRENT SQUAD we'd get massacred. He's pretty much lumped with the current squad so a new manager can bring in a few new signings and dictate the style of play.
No matter who the manager is, if his aim is to defend the other team to death then we're quite honestly screwed. Did you watch us last season?
Alternatively we can get all the 82 squad out of retirement?
