@OginiSolomon Also, like you said, they have the advantage of teaching football as an education since pep Guardiola barca. It wasnt like this before that team. With the limited amount of national team practice, it's an advatange all players are on the same page much more than other nations.
@OginiSolomon Spain are the masters of intelligence, teamwork, and possession.
They strip you of your teams identity. And make teams think "what heck, we cant be ourselves... we cant play the way we normally do."
They force you take advantages of the 1 or 2 chances you have in a game.
@samuelap1_ Organized chaos: Once those relationships become instinctive, players can aggressively leave their zones, spring traps, interchange and attack spaces without compromising the collective structure.
The more organized we become, the more precisely chaotic we can be
@samuelap1_ The foundations are being built. With Iraola you can see the process so far. Right now 'intensity' feels like the main tactic because the structure and foundation are still being set. As we become more organized, the chaos will become intentional rather than reactive.
@samuelap1_ Our chaos isnt precise yet, when it is we will become more lethal.
Structure: Players learn their zones, responsibilities, distances and pressing triggers. Less unnecessary movement, fewer defensive gaps.
@samuelap1_ Synchronization: Players begin anticipating one another. Pressing becomes collective rather than individual. They cover more space as a unit while each player wastes less energy.
@NicolaSillyBum I also love the british "I'm in the mood for a chinese" "in the mood for an indian"
Or "I'm goin for a chinese"
Like mate, you talking about people or food?
@TheRealIron05 Did you see what reijnders went for? idk who'd take gravenberch tho.
Scott and camara salaries combined will equal a little over gravenberch alone. So can put the extra money into buying them. Gravenberch will pay for camara and 10 to 20 mill for Scott.
@itsurboyhass Sell gravenberch. Use funds to buy lamine camara and leftover to put into scott.
Nyoni/lamine holding. Macca/scott 8. Macca can also hold. Dom can play 8 or 10. Flo 10.
@AnfieldIndex@DaveD0106@LewisSteele_ If we sell gravenberch, then yes. We can. Lamine/nyoni, Scott/macca, dom/flo. Would be for the best. Dom can play 8/10. Macca n scott can 6 and 8. Nyoni and lamine as 6. Get it done. Then we figure out fullbacks.
@MHassanFootball Imagine if Manchester City put out a statement about how unjust the Premier league is. Propaganda etc. Crying victim after all they benefitted from. Their fans wouldn't back the club, right? They'd start to get tired of their owners crying wolf, surely? Nvm, the same everywhere
@NiHADlfc the younger guys. This next man up mentality is liverpool. That said, this squad isnt deep enough and Arne took a lot of the hit for it. But Iraola is the right man for the job. Already can see that. Hughes had guts to pull the trigger. Arne was incredible first season.
@NiHADlfc I dont think slot was horrible. I was patient till March. Then I felt he needed to be sacked. Iraola has been great so far. Not just the intensity the team has been building again, but players are playing good football under him. Already so many players are better. And he trusts
@AtaqueFutbolero Also, the following season when Barcelona presented messi the ballon d'or pre match in front of the stadium fans. He gestured toward iniesta and xavi to get in the picture. He said they deserve it too. Whether that's just being nice in public, who knows. But there was respect
@AtaqueFutbolero Messi only had 1 ballon d'or at that time so idk if I believe this dude. Spain won the world cup that year so I could see there being some tension. But 2008-2012 messi. The greatest version of the greatest player. Hard to say robbed even if iniesta and xavi also deserved it.
@TacticNotes Hope he starts Sunday.
Let him press relentlessly till he gasses out. Then bring trey on for him. Move flo to f9 and dom to 10. Macca and Trey pivot.
Maybe bring Rio on at some point for one of the wingers. Wouldn't be surprise if rio starts on the right either
@sbzcomps I like koumas starting and relentlessly pressing until he gasses out.
Barcola and Munoz on the wings.
Once koumas is spent. Bring trey on for him.
Move flo into f9 and dom 10.
Trey n macca pivot.
Maybe bring Rio on for one of the wingers atp depending on where the games at.
