Summer Transfer Window 2019

[ijjysmith]

ok let me rephrase

he's never going to be good enough for the prem

he's a useless player to keep hold of

Which is why we’ve sold him.

He’ll have a decent career in football.

 

[Billysgingham.]

when will people realise that we are a business not a charity

Sorry mate i didn't realize that, thanks for putting me straight.

someone has to before they get a tom davies shirt on their back

They’re not though. Just because they might not be good enough for us doesn’t mean they’re poop.

They’re all considerably better at football than me. And definitely you. League 2 players are better than us.

People don’t seem to get it. Even Conference players (or whatever that’s called these days) are really really good at football.

One of the knock on effects of the influx of foreign players chasing the big bucks is a massive improvement in quality with lower league clubs, due to the masses of young British lads in the U23’s and academies being eventually let go and making a living in the lower leagues

Same reason as the Germans are always sniffling around the U23’s too.

Do you get many invitations to party's and that.

 

[carlos21]

Not yet C.

Haha mate how are you doing today.

it's not guaranteed, depends on what you define as decent

alot of players end up going down the ladder and eventually into obscurity

The problem is the 4231's forward line is reduced to 1.
By its very nature the lone forward is isolated - your starting with a problem, your compensating from the outset.
It easy for a good opposition coach/team to counter by simple looking at how tactics are compensating
then counter them.

Silva's solution -
start with the premise of having the midfield wingers invert when attacking, with the fullbacks overloading.
but that leaves just two CMs and two CB
So one of the fullbacks doesn't go and a winger with pace, on that side, can lurch, coming in as a wide second striker - with Coleman and Walcott preferred in those roles; with Digne and Richarlison dominating the attacking play.
It didn't take long for that to be countered. It was predictable and the holes easily worked out.
Walcott defensive tracking back was poor and Davies was trying to do everything and amounting to nothing and things can go south pretty quick.
It was amazing it wasn't worse but then again we did have Gana's singularly focused genius, with the others catching up trying to glue it together.

This strategy amounts to going down a rabbit hole - truly alice in wonderland stuff.

Walcott couldn't do the job that Richarlison was doing down the right.
It was only salvaged by Bernard replacing Richarlison and Richarlison replacing Walcott
(although I'd argue the real turn around was more to do with the supporters and players finding the Goodison spirit against the RS and beyond)
Which meant there was more balance in going up the left and right and more understanding and coherence between the centre players in Sig, Gomes and Gana.

But the turn around hasn't solved the problems that's staring Silva in the mirror.
There is nothing worse than a system that expects the players supporting the lone forward also having to track back along the wings.
No amount of tweaking is going to solve that.
The only times to use it is when you are going to sit back and play pure counter with the 9 and 10.
But generally its an admission your not good enough and in now way should the blues be using it.

With Kean, Richarlison and another class winger
And Delph and Gomes either side of a DCM you've got the making of a classy 3-3.
Even if we don't get anyone to fill these two positions we've got enough to there to start playing to it.
Especially when we've got Digne and Coleman marshalling out wide and Delph and Gomes doing the same through the centre.

Love the effort mate, would take me abar a week to type that lot.
Football has become so complicated these days
High press
False 9
Inverted wingers
I can’t keep up

Yannick Bolasie and big Ash Williams have played in the top flight.

 

[Brisan123]

Stop it

Worrying thing is he’s not alone in these thoughts
Is the pollen count exceptionally high this year

 

[Brisan123]

(Perspective from the south coast)

He is indeed a complete nob, as almost all Southampton fans would be willing to drive him to Goodison for free.

There's a good, even great player in there but he has a very high opinion of himself. This means he sulks when not picked, only makes an effort against what he considers to be 'top 4 clubs' and is poison in the changing room.

He's been holding out for a transfer to a CL side, which is where he thinks he should be.

Nice line in haircuts though.

Can you email this to Mr Brands please

 

[Quim]

people want tom davies to succeed so hard that they are blinkered by his actual ability

"BuT HeZ OnE oF Uz LeRd"

yeah so was barkley

Do you know anything about this club, the homegrown lads have, and always had, it tougher than any other player at everton.

Ridiculous comment
