It may have come from an attack but you can't deny we were woefully conservative and had we not been maybe wouldnt have needed to hang on so much in the last minute.

Kerr shoulders alot of the blame no matter what way you spin it, the players take their fair share too. Conservatism has been a hallmark of the Kerr era, you can't really deny it.

I don't deny it but I don't think its as bad as people make out. Some of the best managers are conservative. Jose Mourinho being the best example.

Yeah but Mourinho is conversative as he has players capable of playing that way, we don't imo. We're not capable of soaking up pressure for long periods without conceding.

Didn't Kerr bring Holland on and turn it to a 4-5-1 by the end?

He had the chance to change it......and that's what he did - not what Keane did. Therefore he, imo, condoned the negative attitude that was blatantly obvious in the team's attitude and accentuated it. With 10 minutes to go, what message does that send out to Keane etc? To stop this dropping back and pressurise the Israelis up the pitch or sit back with men behind the ball? :rolleyes:
