I think we tried that approach in 2014-15 right after we'd gotten spanked in February in the previous season. The problem was we were too passive and let them dominate us. The only instance where that approach was executed perfectly was against City away in 2015. I just don't think we have the personnel or the defensive organisation to keep things tight without being passed off the park and then create chances and actually take them with whatever little possession we have.Crystal Palace should be the blueprint for our gameplan on Sunday. Sit tight, deny them space and hit them on the break. Benteke missed a sitter at 0-0, we'll need Laca to put away the one chance he's bound to get.
If we go there our usual chaotic self we'll probably get hit for five or six this time around.
