Medical, few beers with Lampard, contract sorted, announced tomorrow morning. No cheeky roast for old times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 51 minutes ago, Old Spalding Ram said: Pinched from Wikipedia “The position of inside forward was popularly used in the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries. The inside forwards would support the centre-forward, running and making space in the opposition defence, and, as the passing game developed, supporting him or her with passes.” Alan Durban was signed as an inside forward.........wing halves, inside right, inside left, outside right, outside left yer about 125 years out of date youth! I did say mainstream! Many teams used to play 4-4-2. Same how many teams now play the offensive 4-3-3 because they want to play like Barcelona with the centre backs splitting and the defensive midfielder dropping in. Same how three at the back became popular again in England after Conte won the league with Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s always evolving because you have managers who are obsessed with every little detail offensively. Maybe why Wenger and Mourinho have got left behind? Neither adapted their tactics to suit the high pressing modern game and tried to use their tactics that they used in 2000s in the modern game, Sir Alex Ferguson probably foresaw this which is why he retired when he did.

Sexydadbod Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Goalkeepers have arguably suffered the most, with more and more demands placed on them to be able to play with their feet and to play as a ‘sweeper keeper’ ala Neuer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Mourinho has still won more trophies in his time at Man Utd than Kloppat Liverpool, even last season he finished higher in the league than them.

Sexydadbod Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 56 minutes ago, David said: What that Wiki page fails to mention is Guardiola invented football. It’s not about who invented tactics, Guardiola copies Bielsa and Cruyff’s tactics but modernised it. It’s nothing new but when you create a super team, it’s natural that people want to copy it and the formation, which we as a team are doing under Lampard. Lampard played against that Barcelona team on many occasions and it looks like he wants to replicate a poor man’s version of it. Two ball playing centre backs, two wing backs who play high up the pitch, a defensive midfielder who fills in at centre back, two mini centre midfielders. The same applies when Chelsea won the league with Chelsea using three at the back, before people said that formation was for the 90s.. Now look at how many teams use it now in England.

In the seventies and eighties I played in a rather successful Sunday morning team that played three at the back.............mainly because one of the back four would regularly be puking his guts up in The Racecourse bogs pre kick off?

I’m Liverpool’s biggest haters but they reached the cl final last season whereas Man Utd were miles away. Compare at contrast man utd’s form now to under Mourinho earlier this season. All Ole has done is to free up the Man Utd players by letting them attack with energy and at a high tempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third year with Mourinho though, throughout his career it has always been the same. We shall see how Ole does once he has a transfer window or two under his belt. Will also be interesting to see how Klopp manages the run in, he has the advantage and shoult be bringing home that silverware ? Anyway, Cole signed ?
