Irish soccerball nil - That boy Bazunu will save us (Part 1) 🐐

that’s the biggest pile of shit i’ve ever read

ā€œthey only get and keep possession because they win it backā€

crumpled docket… go on away now and rise out of me

It’s not.

You said Liverpool aren’t a possession based team, yet they are second on the list. Liverpool and Leeds play very similarly. 100mph all about winning the ball back as high as you can up the pitch.

that was a subtle dig at the ratoath inn mob… look, i’m looking at the EPL objectively, you’re biased against it, for some reason. we’re done here

No I’m looking at the EPL objectively, you’re behaving like a crazed little Englander again.

Go and hype up Declan Rice again :rofl:

If Liverpool were a possession based team they’d make a bit more use out of Thiago

they must have been doing some amount of not keeping possession in those games

Who are the possession based teams in Belgium, Germany and France lads :smiley:

fucking spoofers

Why do you think they had lots of the ball against Atletico.

You seem to be confusing teams who play with a high tempo for teams who want to control the ball.

A subtle but basic misconception which is why I can’t value your view on football.

Far greater recent production line of producing midfielders who can control a game than English football has produced. So the culture is much more towards tactics and technical ability in these countries.

2 of France starting midfielders play in England
2/3 of Belgium midfielders play in England
Germany’s 2 attacking midfielders/creative players play in England.

For a non possession based league that is some amount midfielders who can control a game and possession.

You’re so full of shit

Yes.

They play there because of the obscene money that’s on offer in the EPL

Can you grasp that?

so, in summation, the league is tactically no different than any of the others, it’s got the best players from around Europe and they are paid more.

thanks for admitting defeat. You actually contradicted yourself into a corner there

The English isn’t a tactical league, Belgium, France and Germany produce way better, tactical possession based midfielders, but they all play in England…

Money… morals… blah

It is tactically different.

English football is generally all about high tempo. Very few midfielders in the mould of Jorginho there.

If you contrast that to Italy, Holland and Spain anyway, most clubs will have that deep sitting link man who tries to control the game. It’s why the English national team don’t produce good midfielders, the philosophy is all about tempo, all about pressure.

Because of money, it’s pretty simple. Players woudln’t opt for Man City (no offence) if the same pay packet was on offer elsewhere.

again pure fantasy


Jorginho ran 20km more than Rice in the same amount of games at Euro 2020. It’s amazing when someone’s perception is so slanted by prejudice that their own eyes lie to them

You don’t get it pal.

Tempo does not equal running more, it equals running harder. It’s about the speed and intensity you do things at, not the volume you do it at.

This is another subtle but vital misconception that means I cannot value your opinion on football.

this is a new one when you’ve backed yourself in to the corner. My opinion won’t change because of it, and feel free to skip passed my opinion if you hold it in such contempt in future, there’s a good boy

You’re the one with misconceptions mate. Seems as if you don’t understand what tempo means.

are you not tired from moving the goalposts? Just take it on the chin and move on.
