A smart weirdo knows this dynamic makes zero sense: Madrid / Ancelotti - “we better defend really well as a team if we want to become European...
Nope, can’t agree with you on that. Intelligent systems / tactics are vitally important at that level. And we’re picking a terrible strategy for...
We’re smashing transfer records mostly because of the vast wealth that’s coming into the game. Not because mid table epl clubs think we’re...
You’re trying to put words in my mouth that I never said, because it helps the narrative you’re pushing. In fact, I clearly stated in another post...
Smart enough not to lose my sh!t, simply because someone holds a different opinion to my own, or views things in a different way. Football fans...
Playing good football isn’t always the same thing as playing intelligent football. I think too many of our fans are obsessed with style over...
I guess I’m a weirdo then… but a smart one that gets quite a lot things right. :50: Never be afraid to be weird or strange in life. You’ll...
I support the team and club, not some mercenary manager. I never said we would automatically get someone better, just that we might need to in...
We’ll find out when we play some decent teams in Europe. It’s more a case of someone BS’ing the fans about being loyal, and then farting off the...
Yeah, exactly. But we always knew, coming from a weaker league there was a need to defend well and make tactical or style adjustments to account...
Faith is for people who believe in sky fairies, and have an aversion to very obvious facts and evidence. And we did play in the last 16 under...
Plenty of fans were optimistic this time last year. I made a very similar assessment about our prospects, and I was shown to be correct. I don’t...
You can keep your faith. I’m an atheist, I’ll go with facts and logic. And we played Juventus in the round of 16 on 12/02/13 & 06/03/13.
You keep that tinfoil hat on, and everything will be grand… lol And yes, we will most likely struggle again in Europe. Just like we did last...
Not at all my man… honest as the day is long. A man’s word is his honour! :)
I’m still not keen on him myself. I thought we struggled last season more than we should have. And Europe was a shambles tactically. So he has...
That was 2013. And Lennon didn’t play dumb open tactics in Europe ignoring defence… we played on the counter, conceding far fewer goals. And we...
It’s not bad luck, when you defend as poorly as we do. The facts don’t lie, we get opened up easily at this level because of rubbish tactics....
I don’t think we were unlucky. We actually could have conceded more in those games, particularly the atletico game… And our away performances,...
No. We were terrible defensively last year. And despite our fancy Dan football, we also had one of the least effective attacks as well. The...
