In their Russian League championship winning seasons I remember Rubin consistently bunkering against relegation fodder after going up 1-0. Also any striker that joins them always becomes shit. Let's see if Salomon Rondon will be the next victim of this curse.
Sounds a bit like what David Moyes has going on at Everton. A lot of my EFC supporting mates hate the fact that Moyes has goal scorers working the channels instead of being in the box. He over works them and they become shit.
