    did he want the opposition to think that Longstaff would be playing up front with Wilson ???

    was the game delayed ?
    as I'm sure the Sheff Utd players would have pissed their pants laughing at that one

    I'm checked out on this. "False 10"? What on ****ing earth is a "false 10"? Isn't that a "central midfielder"?

    Basically it's the role Joelinton or Almiron should be playing.

    No wonder they have been utter **** this season. There’s no such position as a false 10!

    Oh wait there is.....

    A false-10 is also usually a quick, offensive, technical and creative player, who is apparently playing in deeper role than a false-9 however, usually starting in the attacking midfielder position behind the striker, or occasionally as a winger, as the role is often interpreted by players who naturally play in these

    A "false 9" was something created for teams with the likes of Messi who didn't want to play a centre forward. But in fact a false 9 is just a no.10 or 'support striker', without a striker to support. So bearing in mind a no.10 is a support striker, what is a "false" one? One who doesn't actually support the striker so hangs around midfield? More importantly, there's then nobody between the midfield and the striker.

    I mean, this is the best there is to manage this club? This is what £3m buys you? This somehow 'makes sense' to Mike Ashley, Lee Charnley, Justin Barnes and Keith Bishop? All we have is a false manager.

    Even with a massive amount of benefit of the doubt, he played ****ing Hendrick wide. The man is an absolute mess. He's cracked completely, imo. I think at the end of his time with Villa I recall them being livid about three left backs being on the pitch at the same time.

    And false hope. I can see this becoming a meme.

    Stick the word false in front of anything and it works.

    False teeth!

    We had 4cb last night. We ended up with a cm on rw. A cm and a rw playing false 9. A lb at lwb.

    So basically 5 players playing out of position.
