sentry Posted 18 July, 2013 Share Posted 18 July, 2013 Good read. I liked this quote a lot... “We’re not interested in our youth teams winning games; we’re interested in them developing players for the first team.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 19 July, 2013 Share Posted 19 July, 2013 "You squeeze your opponent and only technically superior teams will be able to evade a well organised press. "Or teams that play long ball. "Which may present some issues for Southampton given the necessity to play a high line; the abundance of space in behind them for quick forwards to exploit." I've been saying this for a while now. We were horribly exposed at times last season, the QPR game is still firmly in my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he has to have a plan for the teams of hod-carriers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky morris Posted 19 July, 2013 Share Posted 19 July, 2013 And West Brom. In that situation we need quicker defenders. Mind you in both games we could have scored......................

And West Brom. In that situation we need quicker defenders. Mind you in both games we could have scored...................... Yep, the West Brom game is another I've highlighted as 'oh f*ck don't let that happen again.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
