Two False 10s. What the fuck does that even mean.

I was actually thinking about this, isn't a false nine essentially a slightly more attacking CAM that brings wingers or inside forwards into play and allows them to get into positions to shoot. So is a false 10, a CM that brings the wing backs into play, but not in shooting areas? :lol:

If you take 'false no 9' which is definitely a thing (and I have heard of false no 7s too, wingers who basically play more as strikers isnt it?) essentially all it means is that the players role is different from that which is traditionally indicated by his starting position on the pitch. So Bruce is saying that they both started  directly behind the striker, which they did because we played very deep defensively to start with, and it differed from traditional footballing roles in that neither decided to play any actual football. See Bruce is a genius what are you talking about

Only way 'false 10' makes sense is in some kind of 3-4-2-1 surely playing behind a striker  :lol: Fraser was on the wing and Longstaff in CM in a 5-4-1 so no idea what that is supposed to mean.

If a false 9 is a centre-forward who drops into the midfield to collect the ball from deep and be creative/draw fouls - and a number 10 is someone who plays behind the striker but in front of the midfield, linking the two - what the fuck is a false 10? A normal centre-mid?

 

Absolute guff from Bruce.

He is running out of excuses. hence the fucking 'TWO false 10' came out of his arse.

 

Really need someone to dig up all his managerial career stats to emphasise how pathetic he is as a supposed football manager.

Already done a few pages back!

Perhaps a player that usually sits behind the forward but surprises the opponents by making the runs. I'm guessing.

 

This would make sense on planet Bruce too, since he's trying to suggest that we were actually playing with 3 high pressing centre forwards.

False 10 is a thing. But it’s definitely not how Longstaff and Fraser (?) played last night and Bruce obviously doesn’t know what it is.

 

What is it then? Which other managers use it?

 

Similar to false 9, positioned behind the strikers but rather than primarily skilled on the ball moves a lot without it, for exemple drifting out wide to create space for other players. Think Özil.

I did, and I still have no idea.  It's like an inverted winger apparently.  Which seems to be a winger who plays in the middle :lol:

My best guess:

A Number 10 is your play maker (Hoddle, Platini); your talented ball player who will dominate the game, maintain possession and create chances. A false 10 is therefore a player who operates in the space occupied by a typical 10; but without the necessary skill set. A disaster. Two false 10s is merely a double disaster; or in SB's eyes 'a masterstroke'

Not a chance he was playing Longstaff in that role, he'd be useless at it :lol:

Exactly, hard to find a player worse suited to the role.

Interesting about that Zone 14 bit in there...

 

We are truly useless at attacking and defending that part of the pitch. Even last night SU were passing it past and through Hayden/Hendrick into the space, with 3 CBs just sitting so deep. Leicester destroyed us by isolating how square Shelvey and Longstaff were the other week.

 

Attacking wise, it's non-existent. No rotation of forward players into pockets, no overloads, no playing between opposition lines. That sort of pattern of play is evident in even teams near the bottom - Brighton, Fulham, SU, even Palace!
