ericofarabia Posted 13 November, 2013 Share Posted 13 November, 2013 Are we the most analysed club on the planet at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroppie Posted 13 November, 2013 Share Posted 13 November, 2013 Are we the most analysed club on the planet at the moment? Probably, and with good reason. We're challenging the accepted way of playing in the PL. For seasons the belief has always been that you have patient build-up, possession is vital no matter how many times you go backwards and, if you lose the ball, immediately drop back, keeping shape and wait patiently to get the ball back. Now we are doing things very differently and it seems to work, so it's ruffling a lot of feathers and making other teams wonder if they can dare to consider that their way isn't the best way after all.

Think the possession aspect is still evident throughout our style of play, but you are right with regards to our tactics defensively. Often deemed too risky, we employ both a high line and a high press, and matched by often superior levels of concentration/fitness/belief when marking/pressing/defending has meant we have breached new ground in the PL.

Saint86 Posted 13 November, 2013 Share Posted 13 November, 2013 Are we the most analysed club on the planet at the moment? I am beginning to think so. I was dreading clicking on that link, a sense or tiredness and weariness of reading another almost copy and paste article about us... It was actually quite a good read. But to come back to you post.... there are so many articles about us it is getting way past silly. We should enjoy it however, for years we wanted the attention, I remember in league 1 and trying to find an article on us in the papers was frustrating as hell, as was staying up untill 1am to watch 5min clips of us playing teams yet to grace even the 2nd tier! Nothing last forever, and we will stumble eventually. So enjoy while it is there to be enjoyed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
