Mole_Toonfan Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Marv, HBA, Remy and Cisse as a forward 4 with Anita and Cabaye in CM is the correct call. Seriously though how great would it be if we could get Remy in before Norwich? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 God I'd definitely have HBA and Marveaux in the side together, that could be really interesting. No point mentioning players who haven't even signed ffs :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ItalianMagpie Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I hate it, it's completely pointless. They go on and on with dozens of useless horizontal passes, no crosses, no variety, no through balls, no plan B. At some point, ball to Messi, goal. Rinse and repeat. Great Just look at the Swansea game last year: they kept the ball the whole time, passed with impressive accuracy, did f*** all and we got the points. I seriously fall asleep when Barca and friends play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously fall asleep when Barca and friends play. I mostly got sick of it too last year but there are degrees of it. Swansea this season lapese into it when they want to be defensive but Laudrup have the, playing some fast attacking going, and same at Barca when Iniesta and Messi are attacking there's no better footy to watch, but last season tended to lapse into lack of penetration and more defensive. I don't like their predictability in going for close range tap ins which is why Chelsea were able to close them out. I don't think tika taka is the problem so much as the use of it to smother games in possession. That said Dortmund maybe play the exciting varient of it, high pressing etc but all in the extremely quick transitions to attacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea last season play in a completely different style to Barcelona. Yes they may have kept the ball but a lot of the time their play didn't have any real purpose and the likes of Allen and Brittain were just recycling possession by passing it backwards or sidewards. Not only do Barca keep the ball but the always looks to pass forward at any available opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Tiki-taka is only boring if you don't have direct players in the final third to add incisiveness and end product to the play. Swansea were boring as f*ck last season because going forward they were toothless and this season it's totally different. Barca is another level entirely they have Pedro, Messi, Villa etc etc with Alba and Alves from fullback making attacking runs and Iniesta who is a fantastic dribbler. It can't possibly be boring, well maybe when they are 4-0 up and just keep the ball but in the main it isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hardly believe that their goal was to waste time recycling useless possession just for the sake of it. Most of the time they didn't have a clue, and the same happens to Barcelona. Of course the difference is that in 90' the spaniards always manage to crack the opposition's defense cause they have a huge amount of talent and you hardly manage to contain them. But for the rest of it, is just a complete bore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously fall asleep when Barca and friends play. that's a bit harsh, but I agree with you at some point, Toque or Ajax Total football is more entertaining ( the philosophy is the same , movement , short passes , coordinate team effort , rough pressing during 6 secs after loosing the ball ) but without all the ball retention of tiki-taka , wich is so boring and laim . Even sometimes loosing the ball and take it back pretty quickly can produce great couter-attack momentum... So yes we could play Toque , but never Tiki-taka...
