It helps overloading the opposition area, the two 8s are supposed to push ahead into the box like what was happening early in the season, it also helps winning the ball back high up the pitch, the intention of it is to essentially be in 2-3 shape of both cb, the dm and both full backs, the...
Your all absolutely delusional, I just quadruple checked there is no match tomorrow or this weekend for that mater, nope checked again absolutely nothing happening tomorrow at 16:30 😙😙
Exactly, it’s the same with Deki, with wingers who on both sides hug the touchline and an beat their man either inside or outside the opposition can’t defend that narrow, and it also allows the inverted full backs more space, at this moment teams have worked out to just stay narrow and compact...
It’s the midfield, Bissouma wasn’t the same after the Luton game and his form fell of a cliff after AFCON, Sarr also hasn’t been the same since coming back from there, Maddison hasn’t been the same since his injury, and it’s clear as day that Ange wants the wingers to hug the touchline and beat...
I may be insane but take those two corners out of the equation and the first half performance was actually better than the second half, we almost stumbled upon both goals, and even after the second I never got the impression they believed we could get a third.
Can’t help but get the feeling Ange's style of football has been found out, it may work in tin pot leagues but essentially playing basketball is not going to work in the premier league, you need a element of control and not to rely on 1v1s to defend.
We are so narrow all the time, one of the big problems is the wingers, back in the summer when all the videos breaking down Ange's style of football were coming out it was highlighted there, inverted wingers and inverted fullbacks are the root cause, he needs wingers who hug the touchline and spread the defence out
I said the same thing in the match thread, we’re losing that extra man in midfield but still trying to play out with the same patterns but just lose it and the ball is coming straight back at us, it’s happened every time Dragusin has come on, it’s almost as if Ange feels he needs to bring him on...
All three games were we have brought Dragusin on to see out the game and reverted to the 3 at the back we have looked dodgy at the end, it’s losing the extra man in midfield but we still try and play out with the same patterns.
It’s the Van de Ven injury that will actually be the biggest set back from this, without his pace the high line is suicidal, Dier is more than capable of standing in for Romero as long as VDV was there.
The game at victimfield will be a massacre, we’ll be down to 5/6 men, free kicks and red cards just for looking in the direction of one of the victim ****s, the high pitched screeching noise that will be coming from the stands will probably be something like the equivalent to humans of one of...
There has been a few comments around this but I don’t think Pochettino has ever truly been a elite manager, when he arrived at Southampton football was in a bit of a transitional period in terms of style, at that time Spain and Germany were dominating with the tiki taka and gengenpress styles...
We don't play them until November 6th, at this rate we won't get the chance to serenade him with 'you're getting sacked in the morning, sacked in the morning’
I hope there is either an option or obligation to buy in this otherwise I don’t want it to happen, as a club we shouldn’t be taking players on loan to develop them for Barcelona.
