I wasn't really making a point about City. I was just my shorthand for RM's style.
I guess the point is that we're trying to play to a style that is a massive stretch for us, rather than actually playing to our strengths. And that makes mistakes far more likely.
Playing with the hand that you're dealt is a pretty good guide to most things in life.
We've lost so many points this season because of avoidable mistakes - yesterday, big time.
And you hear people say that there is nothing RM can do about individual errors on the pitch.
But RM is trying to get a team of limited quality to play like Man City.
Amazingly, they do still seem to be trying to do this - some effort after getting so little reward so far this season. They'd be forgiven for being demoralised but I don't see that.
But I do see players trying so hard to be better than they are. They are all playing on their limits and trying to do things that perhaps naturally they wouldn't be doing.
And when do we make mistakes? When we're pushing it. When we're tired, or trying to do things to quickly, or when we're trying to do something that we're just not quite good enough to do.
These mistakes are the inevitable result of a squad that is overreaching. And that's on RM.
I think Musk is crackpot but I've been sticking with X simply out of inertia.
But this week I have tick 'not interested in this' about 10 times to the same ad (I'm not ready for a care home in Yeovil) so it looks like Bluesky is the place for me.
He’s been pretty consistent tbh taking them from L2 to one pen away from the PL and the worst ever VAR decision from the greatest ever FA Cup shock and a place in the final.
This is a great idea and realistically the only way to fix VAR.
I worry though that VARDV might also make mistakes.
To be on the safe side, they should prob introduce VARDVDV at the same time.
I mean, on reflection, really it might be best to do away with the actual players and the ball completely and just bring in VARdecides-result (VARDR) and then you’d only need Garth Crooks to run it, the season could be sorted in late August and we’d all save ourselves a lot of money and stress.
I was sitting in the Chapel looking straight down a line between the two penalty spots and the left-right-left-right-left-right was unbelievable.
None of the wingers making an effort to take on their defenders, absolutely no off the ball movement and no attempts at clever through balls.
In short absolutely zero attacking threat.
That changed a little when Tall Paull and Diaz came on, but only because they were fresh I think.
And I've got little time for Sullemana but at least his jockeying of the defenders and his feint that he might actually try to take them on, opened up the change of the ball to Bree.
I remember being in the same stand watching a late season Puel game against, I think, Man U - just the same sense of watching paint dry.
We don't believe in large scale conspiracies because, as franniesTache succinctly explained, we know that the world is too complicated, random and unfair for a conspiracy of any more than let's say a dozen people to survive contact with the world for more than a few days.
So it is pretty binary. You either believe in impossible things or you don't.
A bit like those with fundamentalist religious believes, there is also an element of conspiracy theory thinking that always has an answer to any counter-evidence. Pure Popperian unfalsifiability. Jelly, for example, will dismiss those talking in the link as undoubtedly in the pay of the lizards.
