Our Press...is part of the problem
at 21:41 19 Oct 2024

Aside from the debate on player positions, how we press the opposition when they have the ball is causing issues.

In the Championship we thrived from having a high press, winning the ball or second ball back keeping pressure on the other team.

In the Prem with more technical/physical players they can find the space a lot quicker than we are used to.

Delap chases everything down which is admirable but unless the whole side move up onto their opponent it's a waste of energy and there is an easy wide pass which we saw J Clarke struggling to get back for.

While I'm all for expansive entertaining football maybe we just compress the play a bit more when the oppo have the ball? Keep the lines with a deeper press, make it harder to play through us and get closer to their opponents when out of possession

Thoughts?

First win away in the Nations League too.

Last weekend on TalkSport, Pardew kept referencing this stat and another I can't remember. Any Stattos out there who can validate this or is Pardew talking carp?

He had no right to score from there!

Watched this multiple times after the game....what a goal from Delap!!

Picks up the ball on the left after being careful to keep onside. After that Delap goes into beast mode and what a finish, dropped the shoulder left the defender for dead and what a finish. Pure class!

Special mention for Taylors clipped ball out to Hutch.

The 1982 Israel invasion and The Birth of Hezbollah
at 22:39 25 Sep 2024

Wanted to start a new thread on the history behind where things are today.

I am no historian nor ever really had a deep insight into what has led up to recent times.

I read this article earlier today which I thought was insightful personally in terms of historical context so thought I'd share for hopefully a reseasoned discussion: (namely not picking sides, as all have done abhorrent things to each other, and honestly no agenda on my behalf)

RTE news : What happened when Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982?

Ouch... time for AJ to retire imho
at 23:27 21 Sep 2024

For a boxer who has all the physical attributes, not sure why the hell he doesn't use his levers to jab and keep his opponent at bay.

Equally he took some super heavy shots and kept going.

Thought it should have been waved off when he went down for the third time.

Don't want to be mean, but this is why we haven't seen AJ fight Fury...

While there is a rematch clause, considering how that fight went....

Well done England!

Deserved to win the game, all over the Dutch first half had Koeman scrambling. Totally overrun in midfield, Foden inches away from scoring his trade mark Omari goal.

Quality won that game at the end, Netherlands had chances and didn't stick the ball in the onion bag!

On to Spain! Is Morata injured, what's Yamal going to do. Kane or Watkins...

Tournament sport is all about winning.

Sunday is going to be interesting!

Good luck from one Irish observer.
