@stirling_j Swings and roundabouts in my opinion, it’s always been a cycle. Just like when Benitez and Mourinho came into the Premier League and changed things from a defensive POV it took teams a few years to figure out how to exploit what was given up.

I get that defending is a lot better these days, but why hasn’t the attacking improved at a comparable rate?

@ReidTheGame Doesn’t matter if the actual throw leads to a first contact win per se. It’s an opportunity to pin a team back and get a lot of bodies in a confined space to create chaos. Even a cleared long throw leads to more shots than a short throw.

Surely time to bin these long throws lads

@hbrooks_coach You could even make the argument that Van de Ven is pushed into Walker Peters even if you thought that the contact was enough for a foul (which it isn’t)

It just isn’t a foul. At all.

@gcooney93 "No other elite team does this".... apart from the team who won the other Semi-Final? Bastoni, Dumfries, Darmian all took long throws across the 2 legs...

Decent effort from Arsenal but their limitations caught up with them: Front three too reliant on Saka Odegaard collapse in form No counter-attack threat Over emphasis on set pieces. I mean those Partey long throws...there's a reason no other elite team does this

A long time coming. Congratulations, Rory. #themasters

A new striker for the Dev Squad ✅ Welcome, Republic of Ireland Under-19 international Cian Dillon 🇮🇪 @QPRAcademy 🤝

@Worville If people want to actually develop as analysts and break into the game there does need to be more of an emphasis in the community on looking deeper than how the big 6 in the PL build-up because that’s not a heavily saturated market and has become homogenous.

@Worville Imo the same applies for tactical analysis here too. People get too caught up on having an opinion on every big game and each new managers ‘tactical identity’ that they don’t give time to consistently watch a side to see nuances and changes btwn games to see the why not the what.

A great point, not often mentioned enough To scale the right way, you need to do the boring work first Getting those foundations right (consistent file structure, viz themes, API wrappers, etc) unlocks your ability to quickly get to the fun and interesting stuff afterwards

@gav_mclaughlin All the best Gav 👏

Loved my five years at Oriel. Enjoyed some unbelievable nights with some great people. The last couple of months have been extremely tough but it won’t dim my love for the club. Thanks to everyone who helped me out in any way. Book six could be the best of the lot!

@ballsdotie Since the 17th of July you’ve tweeted only 4 stories related to the League of Ireland. A manager being hit by a coin, an own goal scored by the Dudelange goalkeeper, a miss from a game which you mocked and this. Nice to see a focus on covering the LOI in a positive light…. 🙄
