So, how many games has he won, drawn and lost? (NB Don't worry, I can look those figures up easily enough) Just what does playing Long-ball football prove or even mean in the context of a 10 year career? Has he actually played long ball tactics in every single game he has managed, or have there been nuances, like for example, his first game in charge of us, where he played a defensive counterattacking game, and tried to limit Arsenal's possession? Has every outcome in each game been the same? What are you actually trying to prove? I'm genuinely interested
So, Dyche has played long-ball football all his career, and he has NEVER attempted to play 'football' (so what is long ball
football then?) once; well I'll raise you the 0-6 defeat vs Chelsea last season. Again, I am not trying to drop a logical fallacy on you, by asking for burden of proof. However, could I simply ask, have you ever seen all 400+ games of Dyche's managerial career?
Thanks for the personal Ad Hominen attack BB72, most kind. (Again, like have I been under a rock?)
No, I merely mentioned that with the team he selected for the match against Soton, I inferred he got his tactics wrong for the players selected? I thought that that was quite easy to understand myself..?
Quoted from my initial reply at #12,076 see here;
""Yes, I get that the Soton game was a *hit* show, but if you look at the team he had available, he shouldn't have played long ball direct tactics anyway, it screamed out to try and control the ball and keep hold.
Beto can't keep hold of the ball, and NDiaye and Lindstrøm are not the answer at LWF and RWF with those tactics.""
Why does the actual number of changes matter anyway? Surely it depends on the quality and experience, of said players and the understanding of the managers tactics that count, and not numbers of changes? Or am I wrong here too?
By the way, the last time I looked, Soton are an EPL team, and they played us off the park...
Agreed, Paul Quinn has made many presumptions, assumptions, guesses that he thought were correct only to look like an idiot; but if you merely go back over El Bobbles transfer predictions over the last six windows, you will see at least six, and iirc many more instances where El Bobble has been wrong, and the same with team selections...
Anything else BB?
Or just throw thinly veiled insults at my footballing intelligence, my simple opinions or anything I post really.
Over to you mon ami
