Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[mastermind]

It's shyt football. It's nothing to do with personnel because many teams with lesser ability than that Spanish squad do the same thing just not to that level. Try to control the game by over playing and lacking intent to attack by taking the pace out of the game. No different to what Waistcoat did in the Euros when England went a goal up. Both Waistcoat and the FA both cited they want England to use the same methodology as the Spanish. Once the pace of play went out of the La Liga the overall league became shyt. Those late 90's and 00's Depor Valencia (apart from when Rafa won the league with a 6 for top scorer) Sociedad and Sevilla teams were fun to watch. Villarreal played great passing football.

The only good thing about Del Bosque team was the movement of the midfield. Other than that it was a chore to watch Spain post Euro 08. The best game of Del Bosque era is the Euro 12 final where everything clicked.

Spain won that World Cup by playing For one goal.

Gunwood

[Teal.]

South Hampton has been struggling in the box all day

 

[DillaTUDE]

Pure class from Pogba

 

[TobiOT]

Thank god for Murda Mase.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Martial. From now on, you have to come off the bench.

 

[Gilver]

Name a better away support.

Hint: You can't, so fukk off.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Pogba feeling it now.

 

[TobiOT]

Fred's passing scares me.

 

[phillycavsfan]

Adama has to finish that.

Yea Tony isn’t a starter anymore, well not at no. 9. Maybe LW till Rashford gets back but looks like Paul has that position on lock. He needs to just focus on his game (I think that’s why he went bald.)

DvB has to start ahead of Fred man. That CDM role is still a glaring hole for us.

Bruno honestly plays better for us as a False 9/Second Striker than an actual no. 10

 

[J Money]

Why do teams try and hold on to 1-0 leads that shyt barely if ever works

 

[Gilver]

Alright Harry that's your one for the season

 

[Ukbrotha]

So its better to have McTom carrying a knock than play Donny?
