Vincent Kompany: Tactically Soave? Doesn’t sound like Burnley to me.

Link attached goes in depth at what VK has done to transform the once sh*those Burnley side we all know and detest.

I hope MA has an answer on Saturday
 
I’ve watched both their friday games ,and they look good and with a good striker would be clear at the top,over 70% posession in all their games combined playing decent footbal,will be a hard one for us on Saturday.

But they are coming up against a tangerine machine and a next level vocal backing from a bit shy of 2.4k pool fans.

Thats enough to make an absolute racket.
 
The internet has a lot to answer for! What a load of toss. Football turning into a load of expected bollocks (xB) and I think I'm going to appreciate Appleton's simple humble and honest approach more than I realised.

"His understanding of where to stand is very impressive." (Keeper inside penalty area)

He remains calm and looks for the lateral option. (Passes it to the full back)

This is a massive juxtaposition to what Burnley fans have seen in the past. (Its different. Not next to. Fancy word used wrongly )

An incredibly unique style of football. (Very)

This is something weve never seen before in the Championship. (Never)

They start to move from side to side and keep the pitch as wide as possible. (Wow)
 
This will be a tough game, as Kompany (a fantastic player btw) is slowly suceeding in devloping a more entertaining Hillbilly side and they have a good striker up top.
MA will have a game plan and we know our players will work hard to get a result for the travelling faithful.
This game is winable but a draw would be a good result.

Or just, unique.
Also, never use an Impressive sounding word if you don't know what it accentuates...err?

There seems to be a fashion for trying to sound clever when analysing football, and just sounding daft. A mixture of jargon, grammatical errors and badly used vocabulary. Quit the jargon and just describe things clearly in language you are confident to use. Don't over reach. Don't try to sound clever, just be clear.

That 1st half vs Huddersfield was brilliant by the Dingles.

I must admit, I’m slightly worried about our prospects having listened to that.

I’m going to revise my initial 0-4 to the pool prediction and downgrade it to 0-3.

Same here, the fact that their keeper is averaging 36.3 touches per game has us all worried, along with how he 'stays in line with the ball'.

Scary times, I don't even want to contemplate their defence ' looking for the lateral option'.

After much thought the only way we're going to win this is if we advance the ball non laterally and fluidly past the goal line more times than they do, otherwise this could end in a decisive stalemate or even an undynamic loss.

Tell me about it… The staying in line with the ball thing sounds revolutionary and hopefully Steve Banks can pick up some tips to incorporate into his coaching sessions..👍

It's when they start talking about two No 8's sitting behind a false No 9 I turn off.
 
I’m hoping some John Beck type 4-4-2, ‘lump it into the corner and bang a cross in’ team absolutely annihilate them.

If referees can start allowing heavy tackles too, I’ll be amused

You've got a good point, if we utilise the oblique dynamic twatting of their false 9 before optimising the non lineal air ball to Big Gaz who can employ the lateral humerus gambit in their possession based keeper's mandible we could have some success.

"Playing between the lines."

"Playing through the thirds."

Transition. (Losing the ball)

High vertically. (Not much sideways passing)

😐😐😐

I was talking to an 85 year old Spurs fan recently who said he hasn't been to a game for years cos football has become so formulaic. Coached into predictability.

That’s all fine so long as the pivot can complete the transition through the thirds in the event that a Modular Retrofitted Beta Activation Phase is needed 👍

Fancy way of saying ‘Shithousery’?

Or do we have to have a team of No. 2’s???
 
On a serious note though, I actually think it’s ace that young people are engaging with the game in such a positive way. I think the modern day coaches have reignited a lot of passion for the intricacies of the game and maybe made ‘tactics’ quite sexy.

From a football perspective, I think this forces managers and coaches to be increasingly creative and engaging and is great for the game…

It is, until they disappear up their own dynamics.

Edit to add....that sort of terminology not your post!

So, you want Gaz to get his head onto a curving cross whilst keeping his elbows jutting out in order to catch their keeper full in the gob?

I think Big Gaz could utilise some effecient merde-maisonery if temporal dissipation becomes an imperative.
