Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Yes. In the same game, did you see how Arsenal repeatedly got dispossessed near their goal, conceded 2 goals because of trying to pass out from the back, and took a 1-4 shellacking because of it? @wiseone, did you see how lovely it was when City was passing it from the back and destroying Arsenal W...

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

I have said over and over again that playing out from the back is a risky and unnecessary tactic. Just because Pep's Barcelona and Man City did it well, every team across the world tries to copy it - even though they do not have technically brilliant players like Iniesta, Xavi, KDB, Silva and GKs l...

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

About 97% of corners do not result in a goal. Hence a team can hoof the ball into the main stand all season long - safe in the knowledge that even if they do that 100 times during a season, only about 3 goals will result from it. Now, if that team instead plays 100 hair brained passes in their box ...

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Benteke, I am not saying that teams should "hoof it" every time. I am saying that defenders should smash the ball into the back of the main stand when their team is under pressure and being closed down close to their penalty area . No team has ever conceded a goal from a shot taken from t...

Re: 2022/2023 Spurs Season: [PL] SOU v TOT [WK 28]

But looking at it again, Conte is correct. Most of what he said is the truth, even Jose said it. What did Conte say that is true. Conte has gotten all the players he has asked for. They spent 400 million. he said Au rier was crap, they gave him the brazillian and that english talented kid. He cried...

I agree.
Those guys were becoming too comfortable with not winning.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Maybe if they give us technically brilliant players like KDB, Gundogan, Mahrez, Foden, Alcantara, Odegaard, Saka, and a GK like Ederson who has the passing skills of an outfield olayer, we will find out. How come City, Liverpool, Arsenal do it week in week out with ease Well that's more like it, wh...

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

The winner in a game is the team that scores the most goals, not the team with the most possession. Real Madrid won the Champions League last season and won several games where the opposition had more possession. Jose Mourinho has turned letting the other team have the ball ⚽️ yet winning anyway; i...

@Kabalagala, the box gives central supremacy to the beholder, its opening unleashes all the unpleasantries of Pandora on the opposition.
