Sbragia's tactics I am not surprised we are in the mess we are. Below is a genuine photo of Sbragia's tactics board before we played Everton. At the top - 'Do not lose this game'!!!!! Fuck me, if thats as good as his prematch message goes then how has he been left in charge of a Premiership club? 'Switch on for set plays' - do you really need to tell professional footballers this? 'Goalkeeper kicks everything' - so fuck?? This is terrible like, a proper eye opener and its no wonder the players are clueless on a weekly basis at the moment.
To me 'do not lose this game' is saying your first priority is defend and don't give anything away (win 2nd balls) and attack second and relie on catching em on the break or scoring from set pieces. In which case playing against a better team like Everton maybe the best way to approach the game.
FUCK OFF - when souper ricky sbragia wrote this there is no way he had what you have just said in mind
