Can't stop thinking about the Italian guy who spent 5 mins fully setting up his defensive 3412 against me in a fun pub Pro Evo 6 tournament, locked it down, beat me 1-0, shook hands, shrugged and then said: "Catenaccio"
I genuinely feel like Ange Postecoglou saying the ‘I always win things in my second year’ line is actually massively part of how Spurs won that. There’s something to it.
Dunno lads it just feels a bit like heading a ball into the goal which was almost entirely over the line already might be a slightly higher xG than 0.61
Fabian Ruiz plays like the best one at 5aside who doesn’t really want to embarrass everyone else so saves it for little bursts of dribbling past the entire team and scoring… before dropping back to pass it about to the others. He’s sooooo good
So Newcastle, with no centre-backs, 4 full-backs, a 75 year old Matt Ritchie - who was never great anyway - plus another youth prospect full-back in midfield and not a single centre forward in the starting XI have beaten Man Utd 3-0 at Old Trafford
I’m not saying Gerrard wasn’t amazing but almost all of these passes were power smashed at a height that meant his teammate had no choice other than to head the ball and basically lose possession. They look good, sure, but the receiver is goosed 🐸
