Just watched highlights. Ironically our opener was a header from a corner. Let’s hope we improve our scoring rate from corners this season!
Interesting read onWOL today. A new one on me, ‘inverted full backs’ Looks like Bulut has got some interesting tactics. Looking forward to the new season with some hope now. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/erol-bulut-implements-two-tactical-27258047?utm_source=app
Its what Pep and Klop have started doing. Instead of wingbacks going outside the wingers and overlaping, they come inside to midfield and the midfielders push forward. Suppose they had to give it a name to justify their salaries. Whatever happened to 442 with defenders defending and attackers attacking? Ah well, looks like we're moving with the times. I'll go with that so long as we dont get any of this tippy tappy nonsense.
442? When I played we had five forwards. Outside left, inside left, centre forward, inside right and outside right. Then at the back a centre half, a left back and right back. And if I remember correctly a right half and left half. No farting about with all this tippy, tappy stuff. Just hoof it up the the lads up front. Let’s go back to this system I say. I’m sure it would confuse a lot of the present coaches and managers.
Must say I'm getting quite pissed off seeing coaches and assistants running up and down the touchline with bloody tablets and laptops in their hands trying to show subs how they want them to play. Just prior to that it was flipping through pages in a dossier to find the right setup. Before that the subs got a pat on the back and were told to "get stuck in there lad". The game has sure moved on and not necessarily for the better.
Finished 1-1. Robinson. Cambridge score in 92nd minute. Still another work out towards match fitness.
Cut backs for the EFL tv highlights. Can’t say I’m that bothered as I never listened to them but if necessary I could just read Glen reiterating what they said about City at icWales. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/itv-efl-highlights-major-shakeup-30407822
No problem with them dumping the so called pundits. Nothing wrong with less talk and maybe more action. Hope they have dumped C.unton Morrison as well. Yes I spelled it right. I really can't stand the smarmy twerp.
