So that confirms they were poor subs…..but at least there was a good reason for it
Amazing how people thought but was a good tactical move though “because Conte did it”
It's amazing to me the axe you seem to want to grind about other people's footballing analysis, when I haven't seen a single insight from you that didn't make me scoff at how biased or shortsighted it is. For instance:
One thing that I’m wondering is why we never really seem to play a certain way for a whole game.
Because tactics, that's why. Unless you are one of Guardiola's one-dimensional super teams, being versatile and flexible during 90 minutes is generally considered a plus in this funny ol' game.
I get last night, if players needed to rest after Covid, but even so, surely there was a way to keep pressing with the players available?
Perhaps, and I realize this can come as a shock to people who gain their footballing intelligence through Pro Evo,
the other team also adapted to our press and found a way to change the momentum of the game.
I know, I know, it's a crazy thought, but while he might look like a prune, I assure you that David Moyes is a human football coach who will have instructed his team to try and find a way to come back from 2-1 down.
You know, rather than being content to keep playing the same way all game, even when it's not working.
What really interests me is Contes first window…..I think it will be a massive indication of where he wants to go with us, even if it’s just credible links surfacing before the summer.
Absolutely. Maybe he'll try to get hold of some players to fill the void of others we never replaced, like Eriksen, so we can get back to playing the way we did under Poch and not have to expect Kane to dig us out every match. Back when we were engaging in title challenges and routes to European finals.
You were a fan of Eriksen and Poch, right? You weren't one of those biased, shortsighted voices who slagged them off every week until they left and our form took a nosedive, were you?
Were you?
Frankly mate, and this really isn't personal, but I really don't know where the fuck you get off rating your own footballing analysis so highly. Is quantity the same as quality in your eyes? Because while you post a lot, I rarely see too much from you that actually counts as insight into the game.
