It happened - I saw it too.
Probably quiet initially being the new lad on the team, he’s growing with confidence and developing just the right amount of shithousery - shoving McGinn, Shushing the crowd post goal.
Love it!
You mean there's TWO of us?Thing is it the numerals in the name there's a few of ya'll. So if I've maligned you unfairly I apologise.
1882 mate it wasn't you it was the other one just checked. Him and Brian Fantana were very certain they'd kill us, because because...I don't know. Because they'd beat our D team...JUST.
Heaven help you all!!
This.
It goes back to the expectations that I posted about the other day. Some seem to expect us to win the game in the first half, then put up a Cricket score in the second.
Emery tactically better? He handed us the midfield by going with a back 5, then gambled that his forwards would win the one on one battle with our CB's .
He skanked a win at WHL playing this way, not because his tactics were better, but because we were so profligate in front of goal, and we were missing much of our spine alongside Bentancur, who was essentially running the show, getting crocked by Cash.
To even suggest that tactically he was better than AP is actually laughable.
That's where the disagreement comes from though.
His initial tactics handed us all of the momentum right from the off. They allowed us the opportunity to apply pressure and keep it up for the entire match.
Emery tactics: Give them all the impetus and hope for some individual brilliance to nick the game.
Postecoglou tactic: Pressure, pressure, pressure and more pressure.
Constant pressure leads to tired bodies, tired minds and, eventually, mistakes.
One set of tactics is based on the 'hope' of something special happening, the other is based on the 'expectation' of something happening because you forced it.
That's not chest thumping, it's a simple fact.
We had the 'hope' approach under Conte and labelled it coward Football. Suddenly it's tactical astuteness and it's the players' fault that it failed?
Have a word Bruv.
She's fucking owning Villa Park !!
Season defining match for
Villa. Ripped apart at their home ground
To be fair, Villa had 10 shots in the game, most of them in the first half. Whilst we dominated possession and pressurised them almost constantly, MOTD aren't going to show us passing the ball around as a 'highlight.'
I actually thought that their footage was pretty fair, from a highlight perspective. It can often give a false narrative of a game, but I don't think it did in this case. Whilst Villa might have looked somewhat threatening from the highlights, it's worth remembering that 2 of the key highlighted attacks were offside anyway.
Yeah agree, calling it a tactical masterclass is hilarious.
Yep... The HLs didn't reflect the story of the game... But the analysis afterwards told the true story despite that.
I thought MOTD were fair last night.
Don't agree mate. No one has been attacked for a different opinion, their reasoning has been argued.
As you say, this is a forum for sharing opinion, but it's also a place where said opinions can be questioned and argued with.
When a high quantity of posters disagree with that opinion, it's not bullying to argue against it. Why the fuck this keeps getting raised I don't know.
If you want to offer an opinion that goes against the grain, be prepared to have it questioned by multiple people.
You're entitled to an opinion, you're NOT entitled to an unchallenged one.
Corr blimey, she looks old enough to be Zaniolo's nan based on his milf, I mean mum.
