You do realize that Tella is already part of the squad?

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Again we picked 25 instead of 27 players.vancity eagle wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 7:38 pm But we have a water break motivator so who needs him.
Some are still trying to justify the .motivators place in the team, even claiming he plays a pivotal motivational role.
Re: Tella Starts in Leverkusen versus Munich
@Danfo, on another note, how does Xabi Alonso uses his 3 4 3 formation that has made his team solid in attack and play with lot of flare ? For us 3 4 3 has brought a defence balance/made us very defensive but our attack is conservative.danfo driver wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 8:13 pmAre we also done with learning?EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 8:09 pm The only thing that matters for Tella is his ability to defend and work like a war horse on both sides.

Please learn to watch games. I have warned you several times. This is how Leverkusen lines up, does it look familiar to you?

Anyway I guess Grimaldo and Frimpong whom are the wingback have great attacking potentials beside their defensive duties. Two of the three goals scored by Leverkusen today were scored by wingback. Our Super Eagles wingback could possibly learn from how Frimpong and Grimaldo does their duties under 3 4 3 formation

Re: Tella Starts in Leverkusen versus Munich
I agree with you then, cos Alonso uses 343 and Leverkusen attack has been explosive this season.Synopsis wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 10:15 pmWe really play 5 at the back (5-4-1/5-2-3)onovo wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 10:09 pm@Danfo, on another note, how does Xabi Alonso uses his 3 4 3 formation that has made his team solid in attack and play with lot of flare ?

1. They have better wide players than us.

2. Their midfielders can advance the ball forward, while with us it's only Iwobi.
3. While Aina is a good wingback, Sanusi is nowhere good enough.
Re: Tella Starts in Leverkusen versus Munich
Tuchel will be lucky to see out the season. Why mirror the shape of a well oiled machine and concede all hope of conquest? Bizarre. Leverkusen are good but Bayern were hopeless.

Re: Tella Starts in Leverkusen versus Munich
Grimaldo, Fringpong, Wirtz and Hoffman (their starting AMs and WBs) are very creative. Then they use a very creative CF - Boniface (Hlozek and Adli). To be fair, Schick doesnt really make them less creative.onovo wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 10:09 pm@Danfo, on another note, how does Xabi Alonso uses his 3 4 3 formation that has made his team solid in attack and play with lot of flare ?

Finally, Palacios is a fantastic deeplying playmaker who can create from deep. Then you have Xhaka, who has fantastic long and short passing qualities.
Their team, in itself, has very very very creative players. Hell, even their back three is made up of ball-playing CBs who are press-resistant.

Two of the new players that you listed are ALREADY involved with the team.
Its too easy to be cynical.
We have steadily made changes to improve the squad. And that's the way to go. Not uproot everything in one fell swoop...

Did he really say that? I only heard him say that the South African players should move to clubs in Europe to get better.

Re: Tella Starts in Leverkusen versus Munich
Leverkusen have only 13 games left to achieve Invincibility in a season.
Damn. Hope they can hold on.
That would be incredible for the team once called
Neverkusen.
