Was this a common tactic or something forced by injury? Played there (and in midfield) a good few times for them and, to be absolutely fair, he was pretty effective in that match. MON liked the three at the back system and I think it might have been Valgaeren who was injured/suspended? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about Valgaeren, they really were a team of big cloggers who just lived for set pieces. Makes you think, as good as Larsson was for the , he’s probably have scored double the goals playing for a side who actually tried to play good football like us...

Knock it long to the big lad (Sutton, Hartson), go after the second ball and play for the free kick (Petrov and Larsson were superb at winning free kicks for nothing) and then bring the even bigger guys up from the back. Lambert must have pulled a muscle in his neck watching the ball sail over him time after time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
