newsted Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Footballer not expressing himself properly shock. Of course he meant PSG. Didn't work out too well for Cabz like, but let's see how this goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 If he was only half as consistent on the pitch as he is off it running down our club and angling for move. Pretty short of patience for what you would probably call a luxury player that doesn't seem to fit properly anywhere in our team. Yet to show any reason for buyers to believe the brief glimpses of potential will grow into anything. Add me on to the skeptical list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Are we really getting excited about this. It's the media FFS, let's get some perspective, a conversation with a journalist justifying why he gets subbed a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 TBH i think i'ts a bit like the Cabaye situation, all those top teams would have him but they'd only be prepared to pay about 6/7m as they'd see him as a squad player, Arsenal turned Cabaye's head but they weren't prepared to pay the big money for him. Like some have said, he's not consistent enough to be in those upper echelons of the top quality players, sell the f***er and when we do show him pics of Cabaye, Debuchy, Remy, Enrique, Ba etc etc and remind him he just might up getting piles off those heated bench seats. the grass isn't always greener but these f***ers heads get turned more than that kid on the entity Sorry, man, that was The Exorcist. The Entity was when Barbara Hershey got raped by a ghost. Goddam it, I couldn't go to bed without righting that wrong. That's been hammering in my head all night. Moussa Sissoko, I hope you're happy now, giving me a headache, you Crystal Palace-loving motherfucker. Ahh yea you're right, oops my bad. Oh well I was in bed at 12 and slept like a log :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Never warmed to this guy. Wouldn't be gutted if he left. Not like if Perez left etc. Same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 He has no intelligence. He has the physical attributes to be a top footballer & little awareness of how to improve or make the best use of it. Given him slack recently, but interviews like this just prove the same thing. Id not be fussed if he left, i dont rate him as highly as many on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Maybe he's just on a relatively low paid deal and the likes of Gini have come in on better wages and he wants a rise. I'm just guessing. I'm sure a new deal would keep him happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 He can't possibly mean that. It would be laughable. He's just your average border line illiterate footballer who has been picked up on something because it's an international break, the transfer window is shut and there's not much for most football journalists to write about. Have to say, one of the things that makes me most want to just stop bothering with football at all is the enormous sense of entitlement exhibited by utterly average players.

The College Dropout Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Sissoko's game is all about the transition. Win the ball in midfield or attacking, get the ball to Moussa within 2-3 seconds while the other team is trying to get into position he will cause trouble. Sissoko could do a good job for any type of "gegenpressing" or counter attacking team. I fear SMC's style of play is the antithesis of Sissoko's. We'll look to have possession for possessions sake (hence Brothers Sideways in midfield). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Having a problem with chequed shirts and beanie hats is your own problem, not those that wear it. I have made a simple point, using a word that you don't like but readily understand. Wosdaprowblem? The word hasn't changed my point and I haven't explained the word or point in a patronising tone. Once again, the problem is your own interpretation KI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 It's not a massive deal, it's just completely unnecessary posturing that serves only to put yourself on yet an even higher self-built pedestal of football knowledge whist everyone sees exactly what you're doing and laughs about it.

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 FWIW, I'm not laughing at you learning the game like, it's more that I see stuff like gegenpressing and so on as being fluffy football hipster nonsense that's only there to make people sound smart, so when I see people actually using it, it's funny. Coupled with your arrogance it's pretty easy to want to pick it apart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 But it's not "fluffy hipster nonsense". There's a difference in the detail of the terms with broadly the same point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 'Gegenpressing means to press the opposition right after losing possession' That'll be high-pressing then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Well, i'd never heard the term and now i've looked it up and learnt a new word. Also, having read the first find on google search (i'm that well informed) i can see that 'gegenpressing' would be hard for us as we play a bit too spaced out. I have been elevated!

Lotus Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 How does one use Gegenpressing successfully? There are several prerequisites for successful counterpressing. The decisive factor is the overall positioning of the team and their playing style right before attempting to counterpress. The players must play as close to one another as possible so that they can press together as a unit right after the ball is lost – which is a given in short passing football. At the same time, they should not stick so close to one another that they neglect to cover enough space. Usually, a good layout in possession and a good shape behind the lost ball go hand in hand. Some trainers use the basic rule of thumb to “occupy the fewest possible zones with individual players, but the greatest possible distance between the players within those zones so that they don’t occupy the same space” to make the positioning simple to understand; although, with a rule of thumb like this, some aspects are lost in terms of complexity.
