A premier league club scored a cracking, curling finish into the top corner after a 41 pass move? No, surely that is wrong. If that had happened it would have been showed every single week on SKY Sports news and MOTD for it's sheer brilliance and how it epitomised how the beautiful game should be played. Couldn't have happened.
Been away working for past couple of months so my first game for a while and looking forward to it. We have dropped a few places whilst been away so need to start making up that ground again. Come On You Saints !
Just as the 26 pass move didn't happen in the Championship. Oh sure, South Today showed it. and that's why it's on Youtube, but nobody really made a fuss. The funny thing is, when you look at the comments on Youtube for these goals, they are overwhelmingly astonished at how good they are. So you'd think pundits might think so at the time they are scored.
I know! I used to have that goal on my phone and show all the Premier league supporting mates I had ..."look at this! It's quality" They thought I was nuts.
The 41 pass goal was not that great, though. I mean if you think about it... it really shouldn't take you 41 passes to score a goal. It was mostly lot of passing between the back four while a disinterested Newcastle player half-heartedly chased. In my book that 36 passes of farting around, followed by a 5 pass goal.
Why is it that no foreigner can ever pronounce Tottenham properly? It doesn't matter how often they hear it. It's Totnam, lads.
You're right. Right at a time when he spent most of the time holding it up and bringing people into play and then trying the odd fancy thing at the right time, in the right areas. Wish he'd go back to that now. September wasn't it? Not in the last three months

You realize I was kidding, right? But I don't think Pelle has changed the way he plays. Which is actually the problem, really. He plays about the same, it's just become much less effective due to how defenses play him and how the team around him has changed. Elia and Mane don't hang around waiting for the ball so they can bring other guys in. Or delay their runs. They like to attack. And attack using speed trying to get in behind the defense. That causes problems for a guy like Pelle who isn't that fast. Remember how many goals we were getting from our midfielders early on? Those have dried up, too. For the same reason. Schneiderlin and Wanyama often don't have time to join the attack.
They're conditioned to think that the letters in words have some bearing on how its pronounced, and thus "right, I'm going to ignore the middle bit in that word" is an impossible task. Looking at you, Worcestershire.
I think you'll find that all those foreign players are from Mediterranean or Latin-American speaking countries, because those languages tend to pronounce every vowel and consonant. A German speaker, like Jurgen Klinsmann, will probably say it absolutely correctly, because German isn't a Romance language, if that is the correct term [not sure]. Ossie Ardilles used to say Tottingham, if anyone remembers that far back.
That's pretty much it. So I would read it as T-o-tt-e-n-h-a-m, and suddenly comes Fran with this abbreviated form of the word, Totnam. Where have all the letters gone?
Why bother to reply to me if you are putting that in the last line? You write the whole thing seemingly to prove a point and disagree. Yet we agree with what you consider to be the key thing about the formation. I already said Mane was central in 4-2-3-1. It wasn't 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. Davis, Mane and Tadic were far too advanced compared to Schneiderlin and Wanyama to call it 4-3-3. Tadic and Davis were too advanced to call it 4-4-2. The only formation other than 4-2-3-1 you are can call it is 4-2-2-1-1. Calling a formation 4-5-1 is a waste of time and no where near detailed enough.
