Elliott Rushforth

@StefanBrown4 @MrDtAFC I am not criticising the style as it’s effective. But when some Arsenal fans try to deny it I call them out lol. Lots of teams in the past have faced low blocks and not had to play that way such as Man City. The last few performances have not been great but you winning

@Erushforth1 @MrDtAFC Getting good at set pieces also makes so much sense when you face 11 men on the edge of their own box for 90 mins as you’ll get a lot of them so it’s a great way to break down a stubborn nasty low block.

Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Spurs have conceded more goals over two legs than we have in the whole competition this season (10 games). This is the basketball football you want us to play. No thanks.

@StefanBrown4 @MrDtAFC Any team is easier to player against when you are ahead and they throw men forward but a lot of Arsenal first goals are from set pieces and it’s effective. Arsenal fans shouldn’t care but a lot do and try to say it’s not the case when we all watch the games

@Erushforth1 @MrDtAFC I agree we don’t take many risks when playing, we aim for total control of the ball but you can’t argue that it only really looks boring against teams who sit in and don’t try and attack us. Most teams that’s tried to attack us has been dismantled and the games been excellent 🤷🏽‍♂️

@StefanBrown4 @MrDtAFC Lots of Arsenal fans claim you don’t play boring and Pragmatic football. And I don’t criticise it because if it’s effective, don’t need to worry about how you play but a lot of Arsenal fans try refute it

@Erushforth1 @MrDtAFC Play what way? The way you rivals say we do? Clearly he agrees on some level with your criticism even if I don’t 🤷🏽‍♂️

@StefanBrown4 @MrDtAFC But I thought Arsenal didn’t play that way ?

@Erushforth1 @MrDtAFC He’s talking about people’s criticism of our play this year by rival fans though not just out the blue hammering you guys about champions league goals conceded 😅 obviously he’s hit a nerve though lool

@StefanBrown4 @MrDtAFC It is when criticising other for conceding a lot goals in Europe lol Arsenal used to get pumped in the knockouts for years

@Erushforth1 @MrDtAFC Not really relevant for this season though is it? 😅

@Beesh24240265 @refsupportuk Yeah I’m not disagreeing just found it interesting

@Erushforth1 @refsupportuk With Time, I think common sense should he applied. If the game is done, no team wants additional time, just end it. I've heard that referees have asked the 4th to ask both coaches and if they are happy, end it.

That’s the second game this week I’ve seen them just decide to play no added time. I know the games over but still feels dodgy they can’t just decide how long to play @refsupportuk thoughts ?

@Beesh24240265 @refsupportuk I kind of get it but also lots of times where common sense cannot be applied and laws are laws etc not a big thing just found it interesting

@Erushforth1 @refsupportuk Common sense. Well done ref. At the world Cup, France were beating Australia 5 or 6 nil and the ref added 11 mins. No-one wanted it.

@BlueboyNk @TonyRushforth was doing this years again with a futebol de salao back in the day

This mini ball training session by Tuchel broke the internet

Although it’s not been a great look for English teams, quite refreshing to see teams with technical superiority and flair players getting the better off rigid systems and physicality #UCL 🧠

@EnglandExtra @RupertViney

Red numbers are back 😍😍😍 DH Gate will be hearing from me!

The difference between having quality attackers #CFCPSG

Makes no difference to the outcome but how can they just add no time on when there’s been an injury for a few minutes and multiple subs ? #CFC

@Tactx_ Still think they’re defence and goalkeeper will get found out against teams that can defend lol

PSG - so impressive. It's a level of football that every player enjoys and completely understands. The fluid movement in possession and the decisions on when to risk the ball. 👌 Bayern are the nearest team I have seen to them. Same side of the draw!

@Blue_Footy Gifting them goals before we even had a chance to build pressure and make them uncomfortable. They are not all that at the back and keeper looks dodgy, had to get the first couple of goals

What went wrong in that first half❓

So frustrating psg are not great at the back and keeper looks dodgy but you cannot give their attackers that much room around your box 🤦🏽‍♂️ #CFC

Beaten by one long ball forward. How has our defensive set up left that 1 v 1 situation! #CFC

@JPSoccerCoach @_ToddBeane @alike_no @coach_kevin_m @cutinside @jorgecoutoreis @power_ray @YlmazAHN6 @kestrelpsych @y__abbas @AndySeidel12 @Doug_Lemov Yeah it definitely changed how I think about coaching. It’s easy to write out a session and giv coaching points and then assume because you’ve said it, the have learnt it

@Erushforth1 @_ToddBeane @alike_no @coach_kevin_m @cutinside @jorgecoutoreis @power_ray @YlmazAHN6 @kestrelpsych @y__abbas @AndySeidel12 @Doug_Lemov The chapter on checking for understanding was excellent. Great response as the question was rhetorical to create discussion and new ideas around it.

"What you're trying to teach isn't always what they learn." Due to complexity, unpredictability & each players varied experiences and perspective of the game, there is often a gap in what you are trying to convey and what players understand. How do you as a coach, rectify this?
