    Till everyone else caught up.
    I remember Barcelona slaughtering Man Utd at Wembley, I think, seeing Rooney and co individually pressing.
    Now, even we press (most of the time together).
    Arsenal caught Man City last week p*ssing about early on and next game Newcastle do exactly the same to Arsenal.
    It's f*****g madness and it's killing the game.

    Bring back launching it to Cheese knocking it down for Ritchie.
    I know what the bloody purists say but it was a far more exciting game.

    Man City scored nearly a 100 last season. 90 odd season before!!! last night liverpool were playing one twos in the their own box spurs tried to press and pow zap kapow Arnie slots team nipped it past them and killed the game four nada!! Four goals biff boff zap zamm and lots of shots. Great stuff.

    City are ****e at pressing. weve got some spuds up top. need nrg all the time not some of the time.

    Great point !!
    Or hosts or pundits
    There are more women in men’s football hosting and being pundits than men
    Wonder why men aren’t rushing to do the same for the women’s game !??

    And I cared about Englands results too, back in the day !

    Possession football, which will mean teams building play from the back sees huge variety in how teams approach possession football. To answer your point you would have to look at each teams approach to possession football to understand its intent. Teams may want the opponents bearing down on them frequently, will be happy to play into pressure as they look to break the opponents press and then counter (transition) as the opponents are out of shape/outnumbered .. Risk is dependant on player ability, what we may perceive as risky is not particularly risky as the players are adept at dealing with complexity.

    Bristol City's playing out isn't complex, or particularly risky, the team loses little (really) possession in the first third. The team would benefit from more complexity (skill) in its build up, but the budget has been spent.

    It’s so tight, any number of teams could end up 5th 6th. The top four are pretty nailed on barring major slip ups. My guess is we’ll finish 8th- 12th. Going today so hoping for a good result.

    We don't create chances from open play, after a flurry of our early set pieces they had 2 great chances.
    Says something about our attacking players when our only chances have come from Dickie, Knight and McNally.

    Still in the DR, extended stay.. had to get up at 8am to watch this!! Seems we have the same issues, I think Wells could have done more instead of looking for the free kick.. we need to up the pace..
