Still not worthy of a thread

:thup: Love it. They had a brilliant chatter about it on Monday's Totally Football Show. One of them was saying about how, when Delap was doing his thing at Stoke, not only would they threaten from the throw-in itself, but opposition would be so afraid to concede throws, that they'd get clumsy in their own half, enabling Stoke to press higher to better effect. Which is obviously what Klopp is all about.

 

As they were saying, ultimately it's a set piece so it's something to be maximised and exploited. James Richardson quite rightly pointed out that it's been largely unexplored as a tactical device.

Can't believe no one has looked into this before - our throw ins are a good example, they've been a disgrace for years, constantly surrendering possession even though we usually take the safe "slow it down and throw it backwards into our own half" option.

Will the older ones back my dad up? He’s repeated a story for years that when Gordon Lee took over from Harvey, Supermac said the first thing he said in training was, ‘Right, first of all this is how you take a throw-in’, and he knew from day one they did never get on?

The Spanish FA said they will block the Miami game.

 

The league's president botched it by signing the agreement before getting all the stakeholders behind it. But he probably expected that a fait accompli would make everybody fall in line. The relationship between La Liga and the Spanish FA has always been rocky at best.
