With the spine in place perhaps Rafa will concentrate on growing some balls against lesser teams and placing the emphasis on 3 points home and away (much as he did towards the end of the season).

We need to continue this new attacking mentality at the start of the new season.

to be fair to rafa the home games wasn't about 'balls' it was about brains i.e. the creativity to break down stubborn defenses

Yup agreed. We need creative players and players like Hamsik and Lavezzi is good players.

It's probably a case of both to be fair. There were certain games earlier on last season (at home and away) when we appeared happy enough to take a point.

The Villa away game early on in the season was a farce. I nodded off watching it.
