im zooming out and looking at past 3 years of obvious decline

i know you're stubborn but im trying to explain that without an escape valve all defenses fail

the effectiveness of parking the bus is predicated on the ability to launch a fast counterattack

and possession is a good strategy only when you can transition forward. otherwise who cares about possession.

you cant play a game exclusively on your half of the pitch and blame the defense for sucking.

when the defense recovers a ball and gives it to bradley and bradley gives it right back to the opponent it's not the defense's fault that they get overwhelmed

KILL BRADLEY
