Well it's quite obvious that a smaller/lesser team has lesser quality players, so will create lower quality chances and on average require more chances to score - So you're taking a well earned point away from a team that defended well but missed several chances because their strikers couldn't finish a sandwich.

So by that logic smaller teams have less chance to draw as well. I guess we should stop football then.

So, how long will Conte last. I'm going to say he will be gone in 2 games if Spurs don't win either.

Bring back Poch?
Arteta certainly won't be worried but so long as they are ahead of Chelsea and Pool then I don't see Levy pulling the trigger. In fairness they have 4-5 of their first choice players out injured but Conteball is dull whoever is playing it, worse when its journeyman footballers. Vinnie Samways was more dynamic than the current midfield.
 
What baffles me with Spurs is that they play 5 at the back each game, their wing-backs are really poor, which is crucial for that formation to be a success. Why not just try a back 4? It's so odd that he doesn't change tactics.

Conte is the sort of manager that will just explode and make it impossible to keep him. Conte plays dull football at the best of times and hes another manager who needs to be a big fish in a small pond and the ability to outspend his rivals to really succeed.

Well those teams can sit deep and organised and try and get through a game, and it does pick up the odd points or surprise results in cup games, by forcing those teams to attack more you've giving them even less of a chance of gaining something in games they aren't favoured in as you'd be forcing them to put much more effort into their attacks than the likes of a Man City.

You really don't need to have the attitude like that though, you gave an opinion and I replied with my opinion. Is that not what the forum is for?

No, I gave an opinion with reasons. You made a statement with no reasons and then when I asked for your reasons you gave me attitude about how obvious it was. I still think the 'it hurts small teams' argument is a poor one because that is already the case. To fix that would require wage caps, transfer caps etc. Nothing to do with this change, any more than teams getting 3 pts for a win is unfair on small teams.
 
Thought Wolves where excellent last night and made us look shoddy for a good 60 mins. They where frightening for the first half and Podence's goal was superb. They keep playing like that and they'll be clear of RZ. Thought we fought back well towards the end, though Bailey was as frustrating to watch as ever. Beats 3 players and misses the obvious lay offs, so very irritating.
