If you actually assimilate what I said, you will clearly see I was talking of the future games at home and the future mind-sets of our players who are more capable at attempting the move high tariff passes than someone say Semedo for instance.
We cannot allow a creative player to carry the notion that he will be roundly booed and heckled, if he tries a high risk pass. How can this help create a positive environment for such players. It will give them an easy out to play the simple ball instead.
I never defended that performance tonight, nor blamed the fans, it was dross, but I also appreciate we cannot adopt a whole new ethos and playing structure over night ... we have to have patience.... we've waited long enough for a positive change.
