So that they don't leave space for passing teams to exploit... its pretty self explanatory, if they come away with a point against any of the top 4 home or away, thats considered a good result for the vast majority of the clubs in the premiership.

1pt = some kind of victory ? this depresses me .. every team should 'Play to Win'. Teams who just come and decide not to play , should be banned.

for real ????

Im sure derby would love to come to old trafford and have all the possesion and attack throughout

unfortunately for them though just one of man u's attackers will probably be worth more than their entire team

Why should teams come to OT and be fearful of Manchester United , same for going to Stamford Bridge and Anfield etc. Okay i know if they attack they would get raped , but they will get credit for *giving it a go*.

It's a smart tactic for teams that can't buy international superstars for tens of millions.

It's the Liverpool type i don't like to face

the liverpool and milan type

ie teams with better managers

The 3-2 Milan was a great game....Where did i mention Milan? the 3-0 was a great performance from them, didn't like the ref being Gattuso's best friend but no arguments there cotr. Liverpool type = defensive boring long ball hack anti football stuff
