Maybe they could arrange a double act at Liverpool (they have previous with having two managers at a time). Their centre backs will never leave the centre circle and ONLY pass amongst themselves regardless of the opposition's press. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35070 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Did you see the third goal last night? Brighton doing a passing drill in their own box whilst swarmed by Man City players. "But he sticks to his PRINCIPLES! You have to admire that." But FOUR NIL! No I don't. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did the same at SJP last season when Miggy destroyed them by constantly putting their keeper under pressure. Despite shipping goals for fun they still tried to play out from the back because it's the only tactic he has. When it works well it's great for them, but when it doesn't they tend to get beat, heavily. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mange to get tickets for PSG at home but I gather that was arguably just as good or even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I distinctly remember the commentators/pundits wanking themselves daft over Brighton, and we were coming off a bunch of shitty results, including getting shagged by Villa so they were all praying we'd collapse again only for Brighton to completely shit the bed. It was glorious 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from my armchair, I would say the PSG game (and probably all the CL games tbf) had the better atmosphere because of the nature and level of importance, but it's been a while since the atmosphere was completely flat and shit (probably pre takeover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mange to get tickets for PSG at home but I gather that was arguably just as good or even better. Electric afternoon at my apartment as well. The wife had the kids out at the playground and I had the place all to myself. They heard me singing "We're going to Italy" coming off the elevator down the hallway - we'd just scored our third (also my fav goal of that season.) Who knows what the neighbors thought, and who cares? Hoping for a similar grandstand finish this season - I'm picturing 5000 Geordies singing "you're getting sacked in the morning" to a clueless Dutch fraud as the mighty Isak powers us into the EL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30639 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I still have no idea why top class players put back passes directly on goal, mind. It’s fucking asking for trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 707 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It's one of the things you get drilled into you at the most basic level of coaching. But then, PL-standard players still commit foul throws and play square balls across their own box.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard any coach ever come out with this but then again, teaching young lads in Walker how to play football back in the 80s would've been like telling a fish how to swim.

I dunno, cunt is 6'6", top of the pile for clean sheets in the Championship this season and not even close to his prime years as a goalie. Bad night for him but fuck all he could do for the first or second or third. 4th goal is the only one you'd say he really ought to be saving.
