Quality over Quantity. Never take your eyes off the big picture. Ensure the juice is worth the squeeze. More than enough over barely enough. All or nothing.
📊❌ Martin O'Neill: "xG? It's total nonsense. You've got to remember what the game is about... winning football matches, that means scoring goals, not recording the expectation of them."
"'Expected goals' have only come about in the last few years. It's a clueless development. Some people just use these words to try to sound clever." (@guardian_sport)
"You have a manager that looks hungry...Slot isn't afraid of giving up chances."
Roy Keane and Micah Richards compare the in-game mindset of Arne Slot and Mikel Arteta 🧠
🗣️ Peter Schmeichel: "I have never in my life ever wanted a team to win a game of football more than Liverpool today. Arsenal bring an ugly brand of football to our game!"
Arteta... let your team play football! Let them loose, let them be free! I am absolutely convinced that if Arteta does this, they will win more games!"
Arsenal got what they deserved. Nothing. Too cautious for too long. The biter bit - beaten by a set-piece. Arteta got his tactics/mindset wrong. Why not Eze earlier? Fit, desperate to play and already faced #LFC this season. Immediately brought threat down #AFC left. #LIVARS
🚨🗣️ Terry: "I will tell you the reason why I am not going into management. I sit in these meetings and they ask me about my philosophy: "How are you going to play out from the back?", and I say: "I am not going to play out from the back, we are a League One team, we don't have the players for it, why you want us to be like Manchester City?" And they tell me they want to play similar to Manchester City.
Well, I am John Terry and I am not going along with this bullsh*t."
📲 Eberechi Eze is left in disbelief after a message from his idol, Thierry Henry, after signing for Arsenal. 🥹❤️
🗣️ “He’s got a statue outside, bro. You know what? When you use words, you can ruin something. This for me, it’s the feeling. This is powerful.”
2-0 but performance wise it’s just… horrible.
We look absolutely petrified on the ball for so long now
Sideways backwards sideways backwards … turgid tempo
Rely on: set piece or opponent giving the ball away near their box to score
That’s about it. Rinse & repeat.
