Lack of movement

[Skippyjack]

Ah yes, the only two options in football, Messi or Warnock :lol: if you don't think the top Manager's look at the game and break it down the exact same way then your mistaken, its how they choose to approach what's in front of them that makes the difference. There's a reason the galacticos of Real didn't win the Champions League every year, or Barca didn't win it all every year.

Based on what you are saying PSG should have been completely unstoppable with the teams they've had the last 5 years. But we've all seen that isn't the case, they constantly fall short against good teams.

And if it came to it then a Warnock team would beat a team of 11 Messi's every single time. You can't just say players need to get good, they've either got it or they haven't. So you make the players you've got greater than the sum of their parts through tactics.

So don't be daft. There's very little that separates 80% of Championship players, there's some clearly better and some much worse. We, and most teams, can't afford that top 10%, because they're at the top teams and are picked up quickly. So the only way to get ahead in the Championship when your squad is set is to do the best you can tactically with shape, movement, press, marking strategies and transitions.

That's why the championship is so tight days. Most squads are very similar quality wise and the tactics are all similar, so the middle of the champ is just a cluster of teams all relying on opposition mistakes and the off moments of brilliance.

What are you going on about, I didn't say anything what you've assumed.. I've just said that you need to learn off the best, I didn't say he needs to become Messi did I, nobody will become him, he's different territory, I've seen Paterson drop a shoulder and shoot, except the tw*t aims for the Stanch, which all idiots say, bottom corner, if you shoot a bullet straight it'll hit it's target, if you point it upwards it won't and is likely to go over.. straight and true

Mate, believe it or not, I'm the only one on the forum who's achieved something on a world stage

That's the problem you see mate, all championship teams are the same, it's usually the teams that are brave enough to do something different who succeed, not your monotonous shape, distances, transition, marking, press, strategies.. you drill all this into them and they lack creativity.. they become malfunctioning robots with a mistake in them, they become nervous, hesitant and you shake your head at them.. all championship teams are like it.. hold a grenade for 5 seconds then throw it everywhere, it usually wins you the game
