2024, and the good’ol target man is still alive and well. Fact remains, for all your tactics, when scoring solutions are fast depleting, there are few things more effective than lumping it into the box and banking on the tallest fella getting to it — it’s just pure logic.

@EuroExpert_ @FutIncorrecto Quit trying, Alex. Most of them pretend as though the plan that did not work is part of the overall plan that gives you the end result... Cos hey, they won and now let's figure out how to justify literally every decision and how it contributes to winning

@FutIncorrecto Everyone keeps saying this, I even said in the follow up tweet. Cool, I give him credit for adapting... but that doesn't mean the setup in the first place wasn't bad?

Did Aaron say its boring? No. Did Aaron say the teams are terrible? No. I'm all for laughing at those who say "you have to play like Pep Guardiola and that's it". But Aaron isn't doing that? Madrid conceded nearly 2 NPXG in ONE HALF. Tactically they were full of holes. "What an earth am I watching" is a completely fair reaction - it's the exact same that MANY people had without them describing the actual problem (tactically being aatp).

If a game was more difficult than you expected, automatically it means one team was better than the other... You cannot plan to be bad on purpose, just to turn it around later on for fun, you don't get paid millions to plan that!

Classic case of not understanding cause-effect relationship. It is possible a team did not defend well and still managed to win but if you think the team won because it did not defend well in the first-half, madness! No one wants to play bad or make it more difficult than it is

This is the saddest thing about modern FT. Apparently, you are not allowed to discuss tactical aspects when it comes to winners cos ... "hey they won and that's the point of football" That is the point but stop reverse-engineering from the result to justify what didn't work!

It is merely a confusion between cause and effect. The last managers who won Championship with 90+ points for your reference: Marco Silva, Daniel Farke, Marcelo Bielsa, Nuno Santo, Rafa Benitez Not sure if the reactions would be similar if these names took over top teams

To compare every coach in the lower leagues to Pep and say he was also managing a lower division team one day is optimistic. But it is the same as saying every player in lower division can be compared to Messi cos Messi was also in the lower divisions one day...

Appointing Kompany, Maresca seem to have more positive responses than Flick to Barca, Conte to Napoli while names like Tuchel, Allegri, Zidane, Pochettino potentially available... It looks like a race to find the next Xabi or Arteta by sketching out the commonalities
Fabrizio Romano@FabrizioRomano

🚨🔵 Enzo Maresca has no doubts on Chelsea job, the agreement on contract is almost done and details of his staff are being finalised. Chelsea and Leicester City, in contact to agree on the compensation fee package for manager and staff. Almost there. ⌛️🇮🇹

Lot of things I hated about his time with der Mannschaft. Not sure about what went behind the scenes then but overall, would call this neither a massive upgrade nor a downgrade… Definitely excited, esp. for guys like Araujo, Balde, Gavi, Lewy Willkommen Hansi, ich freue mich!
Fabrizio Romano@FabrizioRomano

🚨🔵🔴 Hansi Flick becomes new Barcelona head coach, confirmed and here we go! The agreement has been completed, worked and now approved by his agent Pini Zahavi on a two year deal. Contract until 2026. Understand Flick will bring two German assistants as part of his staff.

@PanGrzbiet That means your understanding is clear, thats great. Just wouldn’t recommend being averse to mentioning formations in discussions, its not a cuss word

@theonenil I know they don't stay statically there for 90 mins.. I also know four clubs playing "4231" can play completely diff football. And each will have diff formation during build up, press, etc. Ask Arteta...

The problem is rather how you understand. When someone says a team uses 4-2-3-1 on the ball, if you interpret it as 10 players staying in that structure for 90 mins, then its incorrect... But if you understand that its mostly 2 CBs 2 DMs in build-up, thats useful!
Camelot Bale@PanGrzbiet

@ThePurist_ Also in this day and age how common is sticking to these numbers constantly throughout the game? Each 4231 would be different anyways...
