Bayern went out in that Semi final. I bet Dier did Dier things in the lead up to the goals (4 over 2 legs) that Real scored.

The only pro in this system to me is that we have the ball more than we don't. We still look very vulnerable without the ball, just for different reasons. Poor VDV is going to get more injuries having to sprint back time and time again when teams trigger a quick counter.
So after all this contradictory bullshit the best response is you're a retard (classy) and you're brainless blah blah
You're better off just owning the fact that you're a massive flip flop and you generally have no idea what you're talking about as opposed to making yourself look even more stupid
Just log off for the Summer man
No, my response to your very insightful and well argumented post of "you are and idiot" was that these posts are made over period of time. Over that time situation changed. And there was new info to consider.
But I see that you have no functional reading nor no concept how additional info can change perspective. So I am sorry to hurt your brain with things that are way beyond your intellectual level. Should have known better.
*reads this post*
*goes back to check facts*
Last season we scored 70
This season we scored 74
Yeaaaaa... suuuureeee... we scored so much more this season. Whopping 4 goals more. This like... 0,1 goal more than last season. What a stark difference indeed.
But hey, don't let facts get in way of an awesome story and agenda, right!
On the other hand, I think that any football professional would benefit by watching current European players and systems and this is the perfect way to do it.
This is a unique opportunity that I would't miss if i were a football pro.
He’s a top bloke our manager.
Nice to see him relaxed while being interviewed back at “home” in Australia.
Clear they have a lot of love and respect for him over there. Great to see.
Roll on 24/25.

Yes you're an idiot because your arguments are steeped in contradictions, no-one's gonna accept the fact that you've used every excuse in the book as far as injuries are concerned to defend the manager then 4 months later you turn around and say they're merely excuses to attack the manager - just stupid contradictory shit like that just exposes you and you've proved you're an emotional little toerag with your response.
Don't bother responding cause all you're gonna do is waste yours and my time with more silly mental gymnastics, pointless debating with peasants like yourself.
Your desperation and worship of a Manager who hated us is nie on delusional. Conte hated working with young players hence why he never signed any. He loved his experience hence why we bought Perisic to play at left wing back. Conte was so bad I lowered my standard that a manager has to want to be here.
Then we got Ange Postecoglu who is definitley not perfect but after losing Kane on the eve of the season and is far from perfect at least he is not a Crazy Italian who throws a tantrum every few weeks. At least he is a manager whom is willing to sign young, good technical players that the if he is fired next season we can at least use not players in the later stages of their careers.
Is it impossible to prepare whilst being a pundit for 2 hours or something?
Well you know what, I'm gonna reply even harder. Cause you've been wasting everyones time.
If you cannot understand how views can change in 4 months time, you could be used as an illustration to word "imbecile" in directionary. Shows you made up your mind from day 1 and never ever took any new info on board. Considering new info is "mental gymnastics".
You can stop reading and responding here, I'll explain things to people who can understand time and added info -
- 4-5 months ago we were all waiting for number of key players to return to pitch and to full fitness;
- slump in form at the time was understandable, as we were without any established CB's, without our best creative player, without our top scorer and without two main CM's from first half of the season;
- after that ALL of them returned and stayed mostly healthy and available;
- despite having them back, our form DID NOT really improve;
- and after season was concluded, Transfermarkt compiled data, showing that our injury issues were FAR from worst in the league.
So yes, absence of players felt like the obvious reason of our slump in period of November-December-January. But ever since February we have had most core players available.
So having suffered end of the season where
With last 11 games we...
Scored 12 and conceded 22 (!); so on average scored 1 and conceded 2 goals
Won 4, drew 1, lost 6
Went to longest losing spree in decades (!)
Gathered 13 points (so 1,2 ppg!)
....without any major injury issues - yes, it makes one think that there is something else inherently wrong and maybe historically too much emphasis was put on the injuries.
What list of alternatives?
The media hounded him out of the country a few years ago. Now they’re sucking up to him big time. Australians hate a tall poppy unless they’ve been successful internationally. Then they turn into sycophants.
but it’s Brentford comments
Sorry, that was a slip of the finger / brain - I meant to say that we played in a way whereby we would normally expect to score more goals - the point was about the style of football, not the actual number of goals that we scored. We were often awful up front this season, but you'd be hard-pushed to find any fan that doesn't agree that we played a lot more attacking football this season, and hence were more open at the back, that was my point (and my error does nothing to change or invalidate that point). Now I've restated it, do you agree?
I.E.
Do you agree that we played more attacking football this season than last?
Do you agree that we were more open at the back because of that attacking style of football?
That's the main reason we didn't concede far fewer goals than last season despite having significantly better defenders playing.
EDIT: By the way, I'm not necessarily saying that everyone should defend Ange's style of football, not at all, people are entitled to have differing views on that. I'm just saying that conceding a similar number of goals as last season but with much better defenders is not necessarily 'alarming' (the word you used originally I believe) - it just highlights that we are playing a higher risk / reward style of football now. If that is what you find alarming - our style of football - then that hasn't come across in your original post at all (due to it being devoid of all context). Personally I'd be far more concerned that, given the style of football we've played this season, we haven't scored more goals, that is where our problem is...

And we didn’t do that this season?
End of tricky first season with lots to resolve.
Just get your head down, innit.
Best look imo.
Why would doing some punditry stop him from preparing though?
Are we really at the stage where we're actively moaning about seeing a Spurs manager on TV?
Is Postecoglous ITV punditry going to be used as an excuse if we don't win the double this upcoming season?
I can't wait. Should be one hell of a season.
I'd like a clean sheet every once in a while
