  • Tiki taka is poo

    Having watched Barca destroy Milan, I realised how rubbish tiki-taka is, and how easy it is to play against when you're set up to counter-attack. I think Rodgers is a dope for trying to 'copy' these methods of possession and pass and move, and we need to mix it up more with more balls lumped forward. In fact, I want Allardyce as manager and for us to switch to percentage football with a huge battering ram up front - I am convinced it will play dividends. I think our 20 odd goals scored to 2 conceded in the last few games show me we're really not progressing how we should be!

      Good post Colin. I too have noticed that we played with a higher intensity of late.

      One thing that's a little bit subtle is that people may recall that I've been advocating a good European run combined with good football as part of a "marketing strategy" for want of a better term. People, the media in particular notice this. Get the media on side and you're onto a winner. Bilbao did it last season. Tottenham this year, I mean Bale for example can do no wrong despite the diving. Good football and good publicity makes money. Even Barcelona now are being lauded after the other nights performance.

      Something for people to think about as I'm sorry Loki but Allardyce wont reach that level. ;o)

      Loki..I do "agree" with u there on that we cant all be agreeing all the time.Glad u are still on te board with the others here as I happen to respect u opinions too and consider u a very knowledgeable football man..and well worth debating with. Its good to see the lads fighting back the way they did on Sunday v Spurs and really its that that finally has me convinced we ARE moving in the right direction ...and as Stevie said today we NEED a perfect finish tothe season ..lets hope the lads have the committment to do that. A good start would be to pick up all three points v Southampton..for me they should watch out for a winger they have Jason Puncheon seen him play a lot and I hope they are on to him and close him down quickly.

      Why then can't we show the same intent in every game as we did against Spurs? The players hove proved they have it in them.. I think we need hunt down the opposition should we lose possession.. hassle and bully them into giving up the ball..
