My bunkmate in secondary school. Happy married life. |
Yes , but I think that's part of a bigger problem. Slow speed of play and predictable passing. Telegraphed passes done slowly are total poison to a team trying to attack . What happens is that much of our passing is often slow and predictable. This makes it much easier for opposition players to close us down and tackle. Chelsea last sunday were passing and moving at speed using less predictable lines and moves. Yes , Hazard is an awesome player but it's not about him , it's about dynamic , creative football. When teams start playing that kind of football you see one touch moves and quick 1-2s , a third man making a run inside the full back , a quick lay off followed by a sharp turn and run behind the centre back or even a back heel. Then some midfielder turns up in the box when the defenders aren't expecting it and scores. We all know what good football is because we have seen it so many times and it's bloody effective. You don't need a team of Hazards , just players who already instinctively know where the ball is going to go before the opposition can read it. Being on a wavelength with other players. The ball is then gone before the tackler gets close. Defenders don't know who to pick up and get drawn out. It doesn't have to be tippy tappy or Brazil 1970 to be good football , just pacey and dynamic you just have to move the ball around more quickly and let the opposition run after the ball rather than players . If teams do that then space starts to open up. The interesting thing is you can do this as a form of counter attack whilst keeping half an eye on your defending. Infact to defend well away from home in big games United HAVE to offer more attacking threat on the counter. If they don't then then opposition will just come onto us in waves trapping us in our own half (eg anfield , which I thought we were lucky to survive 0-0) Player (a) has to know before the ball gets to him what the next pass will be (player b) , that player who is receiving the ball starts to sense the run of his winger (player c) even before the very first pass is played. Meanwhile , player d has sensed this and has already started to make a dummy run to draw the fullback away. Two seconds later the winger is racing to the by line and whips a cross in for player a (who incidentally hasn't stood still but has made a run into the box ) to head a goal. Something like this cannot happen easily if you pin players down to positions , park the bus and fill players with a fear of losing a goal. They will just slow things down and make predictable passes. Mourinho's style inhibits free expression and encourages anti football. It slows players down and pins them to positions and they take extra touches and take too long to decide on their next pass. And then , when the ball is lost , we are not aggressive enough to win it back , thus forcing us to shuffle back into two lines of 4 hoping to get back possession rather than win it in their half. Its a thing of the past and it bores and frustrates the hell out of me. And it started the moment we went to Anfield and Jose drilled his players to bus park with awful football rather than trusting them that they can actually play a bit. Since then the confidence has gone and fear has set in. The irony is that United played quite well the first 10 minutes v Chelsea. The ball was zipping around a bit and we looked a bit dangerous. But then.......zzzzzz A comment by @desmondisback @redcafe. I think this sums up why we are where we are at the moment. |
lilytender:I think I subscribe to this view. There's a lecturer in the same school: a self professed religious man and a redeemed pastor who's exactly as you've described. The man behaves as if the world revolves around him. Looking at him, you ll definitely ask how he was allowed to come close to the church never mind being a pastor. |
JAkinyi:My apologies Juliette. I had no intention of passing this beautiful piece off as mine. My mistake is regretted. cheers. |
teamsynergy:How do you do that bro . pls explain. |
This by MZX7 @redcafe..the sarcasm lols.. That's it, I have to say it. United cannot keep the game interesting for 90 minutes. What bs is this? Score 3 goals early, add one more in the 60th minute and then leave the viewer exasperated for the remaining 30 odd minutes. What am I supposed to do in that time? Eat popcorn? Other teams are considerate of their viewers and keep the scoreline close at touch and go. Not us, Mourinho can't help himself. He has to have his 4 goals as early as possible the greedy bas**rd. And then that's it. He can't have any more goals. So he brings on Lingard and Darmian and what do they do? Try to score themselves. Greedy bas**rds. And as if Martial already didn't have enough assists apart from a goal off a penalty. He wants more assists. And don't even let me start about Lukaku. 10 goals in 9 games. Who does he think he is? Coming from a mid-table side like Everton and trying to ruin records of our legends. Thank God he didn't get a hat-trick. Else Pochettino would have said he is better than Kane who as per him is better than Ronaldo meaning Lukaku is better than Ronaldo. Well at least I saw one great goal in the 80th minute. But, I'm so done with trying to watch us play for 90 minutes. Mourinho out! |

And to think these rival parties are two blood brothers from the same womb. I piss on Nigerian politicians. |

christinnah:Can I make you my spiritual mentor? Going to church hasn't really been easy for me but I do really think attending church makes it easier to achieve all you have said. Haven't been to church in quite a while and it hasn't been any easier living a truly Christian life. |
