What has happened to our simple game.
We now have Inverted Full Backs & False Nines.
What will they think of next ?.
I know what it all means but is it really necessary to complicate what is a simple game. |  | | |  |

Idiots trying to copy Pep rather than play to their squad’s strengths.
Martin being an obvious case in point. | | | |

Every week on the highlights shows there’s howlers of teams trying to pass the ball out, it going to shit and them conceding.
GAMES GONE |  |
| We thought that we had the answers,
It was the questions we had wrong. |

A case of "the emperor's new clothes". Managers obviously think it looks good when in fact it just looks stupid. |  |

You lot need to get with the programme. Will see if I can organise a conference call with one of our online ‘Influencer’ Superfans to give you a lesson in the modern game…….. [Post edited 11 Oct 12:10]

Ipswich were particularly cavalier at West Ham last week.
In a very bad way. [Post edited 14 Oct 17:21]

This stuff is all a dream for nerds like voice of the fans Saint Rob, who loves to talk about XG’s, low blocks and inverted full backs.
His mate “Russ” is a genius at all this shite. Except the defending bit. | |

One of my sons is a football coach on the "Seacoast" of the US. That's sort of around Portland Mine.
They have players from age 5 to full adult, boys and girls. Their teams range in ability from playtime scuffers to MLS wannabe's and some go on to professional contracts in the MLS.
They have an affiliation with Brighton FC who help them with coaching etc in exchange for talent spotting.
The coaches get coaching on the "modern" aspects of the game such as possession, overloading parts of the pitch etc.
His last group of boys (14/15) were not doing so well so he reverted to what he calls a "Reading style". Results improved because young boys attention span is that of a goldfish and simple is best. | | | |

By overloading midfield you inevitably leave yourself short of players in other areas & are vulnerable to be hit on the break. | | | |

Was it Shankly that said football is a simple game complicated by idiots.
Never a truer word spoken. |  | | |

Man City would win regardless of what system they played because they've got quality players that think for themselves & can play any system.
Also if you watch them they don't play too much suicidal possession football in their own penalty area, they do it further up the pitch & unlike Saints they speed their game up when they are near opposition goal. | | | |

It’s been unsuccesful for 58 years - move with the times..
Most Saints fans can’t get their heads round it to be fair.. | |

We've got a false full back (Manning) and an inverted manager. | |
