KaKa Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 After hearing him blame the 3-4-2-1 formation (which was Rafa's apparently), for all of our dull performances the majority of last season, it was funny and somewhat satisfying seeing Potter and Brighton rock up and use the very same formation, but coached well, to deliver a dynamic attacking performance that completely destroyed us on the day.

Alberts Mustache Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Are they any high-level clubs currently lining up in a 4-4-2 with any success? More or less all top clubs in modern football play with dynamic formations, making it easy to shift pressure, attack different areas and adapt as the game progresses. Atletico and other clubs might start with a 4-4-2 on paper, but it's definitely not the same as that shockingly outdated sh*** we saw yesterday.

The richest league in the world ladies and gentlemen, and this shit is still being tolerated. Astonishing. Hoping Bruce comes out as an anti masker pro brexit cunt so I'm justified in hunting him down like the dog he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

olliemort Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Back to basics?What is basics because all i see is us getting the ball and hoofing it up the field as quick as possible. I wish our so called journalists would ask him what he means by this. Honestly junior teams can at least try to play better football and he can have no complaints with the best options we have had in a long time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you get any more basic than starting Andy Carroll, in a 4-4-2 and humping balls up to him hoping for flick on's/second balls? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Which sensational headlines? I had a couple of neutrals message me saying it was one of the most tactically inept performances they can remember from a Premier League side. Watched it with a few mates who were waiting for the Liverpool game. They couldn't believe how bad and wide open we were. But yes, Steve. It's sensationalist. He gets an easy ride from the media FFS! Only seems to be Craig Hope that calls him out on his shitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 No no no!..... Just a big NO you absolute prick. Don't "roll your sleeves up", that doesn't fucking work unless you're in the mackem league. Sit down with your coaches (ha!) and watch the first couple of spurs games. Analyse how the play, come up with game plan on how to nullify the threats they pose. Think of a way(s) we could possibly hurt them (ha! ha!). Then when you've done that do it all again and come up with a plan B, even a plan C. Then get the overpaid fuckers out on the training pitch and communicate clearly the plan you have come up with. Make sure each player knows what is expected of them in their position/role. No days off, no "team building" pish. Just get them fucking prepared properly for a change you useless sack of knob cheese. Honestly starting to detest the man more than the king. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
