Spot on.
Boro tried the mean defence routine with the 'incredible' Ben Gibson, look what happened to them.
The PL contains teams with so many high quality attacking threats, not just the top 6, it's impossible to shut them out.
So have some pacey threats of your own, to take opponents out...
Yes.
Our signings, especially the much needed pace up front and goals, were always going to be the key to the season. Should the season never really take off, that transfer business within our club set up, cannot be held against CH.
But every other club would be far more mercenary in sacking...
