Scott7 6,002 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Strange that on the same day, Benitez and Solskjaer should deploy the same tactic of your own centre backs marking and even tackling each other. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,602 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I don't agree with the pressing criticism, either. It suggests you can only press if you have certain players, which I don't believe is true. You can press with any player, because, for me, it's mostly an organisational thing. Like defending. OK--some players are better at defending then others, but the majority of defending is about organisation. You can drill players into a solid system, regardless of individual ability. I recall Klopp's first game with Liverpool, against Tottenham. I don't think they won the game, but you could see the pressing and counter-pressing immediately. And, you wouldn't say Liverpool had a great side at that stage; they were pretty average. Did they not have Benteke, FFS?! Ole just doesn't have it, tactically. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

compo 7,030 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Heard one pundit on my wireless yesterday saying United should go for our manager, I just lifted Dolly the cat and told her the world going stark raving bonkers my girl . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,602 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I think Conte is the obvious choice for Utd, but I'm not sure he fits, long-term. There's no one else available. (Zidane is not interested, I believe. He doesn't speak English and is waiting for the French NT job, by all accounts.) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaBoy 2,441 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Why all the rush to get managers out of a job? I think Ole, Arteta and Santos are doing fantastically well and long may it continue. I wish Moyes and Klopp were doing equally as well 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,002 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 A weekend of ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties and things that go bump in the night like my forecasts this season so nuts to that and the following will be right. Most of the teams are in disguise to avoid embarrassment. Leicester 2-2 Gunners Clarets 2-1 Bees Scousers 3-0 Seagulls City 3-1 Palace Mags 0-3 Pensioners Wasps 0-0 So’ton ( Relegate them both) Hotspur 1-2 (the start of Ole’s customary rise from the ashes) Canaries 1-2 Leeds Villa 1-2 ‘ammers Wolves 2-2 Toffees 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
