it is boring

its why i loved hazard, he was just so fun to watch with the ball

pep is successful but he micromanges and turns his players into robots, vinicius would be ruined at man city

One of my favourite players of all time is Pato. Blistering pace, great finisher and dribbler and could play anywhere in a front 3 or as a number 10.
 
way to miss the point

it was a discussion about the modern game being about systems and full control and that flair players are rare these days

I think there's a huge gulf of space between 'shoot on sight' and 'pass it back to the keeper' that I'd be happy for wingers to fall into, where every so often they lift their eyes for free players in the box over taking on audacious shots. When they go in then it's academic though. As OLM said, Philo passed a lot more today which was far more effective than his Swansea performance.
 
Because the initial shot was on target. Borderline if Philogene's was since it hit the frame even after the deflection.
Borderline means the benefit of the doubt should go to the scorer.
You could say the Rotherham goal was tamely heading straight to Allsop until the deflection.

Flair players are coming to the fore.

Just has to be from within a system as that gives the flair the platform from which to perform.

It's always been this way, just the games moved on from direct ball up top, win the knock-downs and play from there.

It isn't the 90's anymore.
 
Back that up on Saturday, then it's 4 from 5 and puts the bed wetting after Swansea into perspective.
While not playing well, and getting some of our new players upto speed and use to playing with each other. Just need to keep grinding out points and keep in touch and then we’ll be in a fantastic position for the run in, when our extra quality players will be firing.
