yes.... the biggest teams usually play against lesser teams that 'park the bus' for as long as is possible to maintain a draw (even more so if they fluke a lead ).....
alot of the games that the likes of Chelsea face are fought virtually around the penalty-box of the opponent.... in many of those games the lesser teams will hold out for a draw and simply defend their pen-box maybe the whole 1st half half even (sometimes even longer if theyre lucky)..
in those frequent circumstances it would be easy for a weak-running athlete like Modric, THudd or even Lampard (little pace) to have it easy and not run at speed up and down the pitch, like most CMs would have to do in a normal match between evenly-matched sides..
obviously you will do your best to refute this, cos you will like to.... but lets see how the lineup in CM develops as the season progresses... personally, with both Lennon and Bale as wide-middies, I think it will be increasingly rarer to see both THudd and Modric in CM...
the perfect scenario for Jenas to continue in the Spurs 'A-team' is about to emerge....in fact, it already is...
