Fear of speaking your mind

Yes I read it, and it's what finally confirmed my opinion from January that he was a fraudster. Using words like 'circulation' and the constant use of 'immense dimensions' was more Descartes than it was football manager. I don't know many other managers that had to write a thesis on their tactics to get their point across.

You see this is the problem when you put Descartes before the horse.

Badum tish!

It follows the same logic as 'if Defoe had scored at Man City when 2-2 we might have gone on to win the league.' Was HR unlucky that didn't happen? No.

Was AVB unlucky that he left himself with only Rose as an option/Levy didn't spend more money on a LB after the 100 bar he'd already spent? No.

Adaptability is the key, for which AVB unfortunately had nada.

What is this? You're just twisting my words now and I've already covered all this in previous posts.

If we line up like that I think I'll jump off a bridge somewhere.


After avb's reign this season I'm amazed anyone would even suggest it.

I do think it is more about what you allow players to do and what they are capable of

For example simply change Sandro for capoue in this set up and give him licence to be more of a box to box player alongside Paulinho doing the same thing and you would have quite a fluid formation. Hard work from the middle two supplemented by skill from Eriksen and Lamela would give the team a solid feel

Alternatively Eriksen could be pushed let into Townsend possesion , Lamela into Eriksen's place and play lennon on the right. This give greater pace in the side.

To much is made of the tactical side, players have to know what role they play but football is not a game played on a board so individual ability balance of type of player and gelling as a team make successful teams

Edit
I am not saying that is my favoured approach just that it has merit and alternatives

Yeah, it's one of those you'd have rather missed.

well it seems odd to lock an entire thread as a solution to an inappropriate image when the image can be removed. What was the image?

LOL. yeah I'd say he's been dealt with. He must have been one bad egg to have been deleted!

Odd? The thread was locked for a short period of time whilst the clean up took place so that no further images could be posted before the perp was banned. Other posters were also quoting the post which contained the image and locking it also put a stop to that and made the whole process easier/faster.

Once this was done, the thread was (obviously) reopened.

What's odd about that?

no that makes sense, i didnt consider the process of doing a thorough scan and clean rather than just removing the original image.

He was deleted wasn't he? He rang a bell to me so i tried to search him but no results

Agree with everything Omega said besides the last part and that awful picture. MY EYES BLEED!

If we are winning games and in good position, I couldnt give a flying fuck if we were playing 10 men behind the ball the whole game and just go long ball on the attack. This "I have my Tottenham back" is the biggest buch of fucking horseshit I've ever seen. Just fuck off with that bullshit. AVB had one of the highest win percentages of our managers in the PL, got us our highest points total ever in the PL, and got us 4 points against the soon to be champions last year. So much for "the tactical geniuses to go suport that awful club Chelsea." Fucking hypocrit OP.

Would you rather try to replicate Guardiolas Barca or Mourinhos Madrid or Inter??? I know which one is far more entertaining and a team well managed can win with style.

A club like Tottenham has an identity. The way were playing wasn't within our DNA

FFS, a clubs DNA can change at any given time! This whole bullshit "we have our tottenham back" really makes me sick to be honest.
I dont give a rats ass how we play as long as we win. You know that dull, boring football Chelsea played under Mourinho in his first term? Yeah, I'd take that any day of the week and twice on sunday if we were able to replicate the same results and win the league. Its about winning. Not about style.

Fuck, fat fingers and iPhones dont work well. Just undid the spam rating. Sorry, A&C.

1-0 to the Francenal

Madrid's Ramos and Pepe kicking everyone in site.... No thank you....

 

[spursandbarca]

a club like Barca never changes its dna. 4-3-3 since Cruyff. Bringing threw homegrown talent.

So your essentially saying that if given the chance, you would not want Pep Guardiola here because his football isnt attractive enough for you?

 

[spursandbarca]

Madrid and Mourinho 3 trophies.
GUardiolas Barca 14 trophies.

???? Pep Guardiola is one of my idols and the best manager in world football.
