I am truly sorry that you have taken offence at my remarks, but the opening sentence of your reply also caused offense to me. I had spent quite...
Leeds totally outplayed us at Oakwell. However, they were very fortunate to win at Elland Road, and were fortunate to score through an unlikely...
I do not think that Hecky played a true press. The way that you describe our press against Brentford is the way that I see the true press, and...
Did he? I suggested that he might be the answer at 10 the other day and it got poo pooed. Hopefully you are right and he is the answer. Cheers!
You make some good points, and in the case of the difference between Stendel and Struber, I have already acknowledged the difference. You went on...
People who are player focused tend to have little interest in systems, and that is fine. But this is a thread about systems.

The problem is that the players who are ideally suited to the press, are not as good at the attacking side of the game, and Jacob Brown is the...
I was never a cider man, but I used to enjoy the odd pint or two. I gave up 20 years ago, so it no longer hurts as much, and at least it helps me...
Unfortunately, I am tea total because of stomach problems
My post concentrated upon the press as a defensive tool, because that is how I think it is most valuable, and where I believe the differences are...
Well I am pleased that you still read my stuff.
Our owners want their coach to play the press. Many fans do not. But who is right? Football can be played successfully in many different ways....
