Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

Eksedees example was a joke I'm fairly sure. Your stroke of tactical genius would be to have a top 5 in the world player do something astonishing?

Fulham are a premier league team, they should be able to defend crosses all day with 11 men in the box. Simple as that. Also I don't know Dan Burn was laughing at because they still conceded twice. Pat on the back all round, only conceding 2 when parking the bus and throwing away the key.

Also how is the premise retarded? You are the one saying United were being tactically naive and insinuating you know more able football than others so provide some tactical analysis.

Scouse buying the wind up from Fulham then.

Yeah, though the overarching point is two fold: tactical variation is the key and it baffles me that professional footballers can play in EIGHTY ONE CROSSES when you really don't have a single striker who is dominant in the air to cross to. Secondly that it can sometimes take a stroke of pure genius to score against good defending. Just look at Chelsea vs. West Ham - we did the same thing over and over again and didn't get through because no one gave us that spark. Utd miss that not due to quality but due to confidence. That's the big factor imo.

Tactical naivety from Moyes tbh. He's got amazing front players yet he's playing like he's got Andy Carroll up front.

Fucking huge game for Cobblers. Rock bottom of the football league against 2nd from bottom. 2 nil up atm.

 

[caLLous]

Well this is a fucking dull evening of football so far...

 

[Billargh]

Sure I seen some Strepsils in Chelsea's medical bag there...

 

[Raven]

Are West Brom parking the bus? I do hope so just for Maureen's post match conference.

 

[Aoami]

Nice result, 2 away wins in the bounce with 2 clean sheets. Buzzin

 

[caLLous]

And 2 points off you-know-who.

 

[caLLous]

Come on WBA!

 

[Vladamir]

Knew it'd happen

 

[Raven]

Hello Victor

 

[Billargh]

That what you get for parking the bus, Chelsea.

 

[Embattle]

Knew it'd happen

To me it is the same reason we will struggle to win the league this year, we simply have too many games when we don't convert enough chances.

 

[Aoami]

Starting to look like last year, no one wants to bloody win it

 

[eksdee]

Such a poor performance.

 

[Turamber]

Thank you Chelsea for re-affirming my enjoyment of football despite yet another poor season for Villa.

 

[caLLous]

There's so little consistency this season, it's madness.

 

[Raven]

Best season in years for a neutral.

 

[caLLous]

You're not a neutral.

 

[Raven]

Sometimes!

 

[caLLous]

Fucking plastic!

 

[Lethul]

Ugh, Im nervous about tonight. So far every great Liverpool result has lead to lost points in the game afterwards

 

[caLLous]

I'm nervous too but that's just a permanent state at the moment when it comes to football.

If we can create as many chances as we did last time we should be OK, plus no Kebab. Or Remy?

 

[Raven]

I might stick a fiver on Sunderland annoying the crap out of Shitty tonight. I also have a feeling UTD might bounce back against Arsenal...they certainly would do in the same situation if SAF was still in charge!

Your lot should absolutely destroy us tonight, if not you don't deserve to be in the Premier League

 

[caLLous]

Yeah, we thrive under pressure. :'(

 

[CorNokZ]

Hope both Manchester teams win. Anyone but Arsenal for the title if you ask me

 

[soze]

Fuck you if you ask me!
