RESPECT THE COCK
Although they are playing a 4231 tonight, AVB's Marseille are good (non uber team) example of a team that have predominantly played a very conservative, risk averse 433/451 system, very successfully all season.

We ran that guy out of town, and his Marseille side are a tough watch. And we will run this Mourinho character out of town, too, if we have to watch much more of this shit, or haven't you noticed that we are being booed off these days?

I have never seen a football manager who looks less like a football manager. He has the air of a fucking antiques dealer. Standing there, wiping the crumbs of brioche off his cravat. The wanker. With his athletic fucking full-backs.
Was it a 4-4-2 in possession? I thought it was just 4-4-2 without the ball?
Whatever about not starting him, to wait 81 mins to introduce him, when our midfield was so fucking sterile, was very troubling.
A peripatetic decade does not appear to have changed AVB. His Marseille, like his Chelsea and Tottenham sides before it, is an exercise in offensive shot volume and high pressing.
Dm my ass. Please stop calling him that.
You are still thinking that Skipp of all players is a 'box- to-box midfielder'?

Ok let me ask you something. What position was Skipp playing yesterday?
has a lot of the same qualities Kante has. Just a little slower. But he reads angles very well and is a feisty fucker.
I think he actually reminds me more of prime Matic.
Which is probably why Mourinho rates him.
He's a much more mobile player than Matic, with a better passer range. The Kante and De Jong comparisons are the right ones. If we had a different type of manager, a Ten Hag perhaps, they'd build a team around him. Mourinho might talk him up but he'll never be his type of player. He'll buy a big lump in the Summer. If we're going to keep Mourinho, it's better for Skipp to move to a more footballing side.
Although I've always liked Skippy I did not realise he had this much technical ability.
Prime Matic? Kante? Build a team around him???
Loooooooooooooool oh man.
Loooooooooooooool oh man.
You're putting your chips on the wrong player turning out shit, Skipp has huge potential.
It absolutely astounds me that Pochettino had the use of this kid for the last 18 months of his time here, and chose to put fucking clunkers like Sissoko and Dier in midfield week after week.
And it's taken Mourinho 4 months to play him.
And it's taken Mourinho 4 months to play him.
He even chose a clearly broken Wanyama over him too.
In a team riddled by individual errors he is so reliable. Every successful team needs one.
