MK Dons – Best Tippy Tap in L1?!

[Exiled in Exeter]

MK Dons boss Karl Robinson:

"We want to play a type of football where we retain the football more than the opposition, it's the best home record this club's ever had and the reason for that is that we retain the ball longer than any other team in this league, that's a fact.

"We have more passes and a better completion rate than any other team in his league."


BBC Sport - Football - Chairman Pete Winkelman to wait on MK Dons deals

Is he havin' a laugh ?

 

[Djmiles]

More passes and a better completion rate.....and you're still only 7th in the league. Well done MK

 

[Horsham Gull]

and what about your history MK














oh wait....*bitter*

I actually quite like Karl Robinson, he seems like a decent guy. Here though, unfortunately for him, he is talking complete rubbish.

At least Gus will have something to pin up in the dressing room at MK - and challenge his players to prove them wrong.

Clearly the good home record is due to their packed, bouncing and raucous stands.

 

[upthealbion1970]

Retaining the ball is only part of it Mr Robinson, mkdons -2 goal difference shows you might want to do some work on your defence

Yeah, well, we'll see about this on the 26th won't we. I don't mind Robinson either, and he's a decent young manager in the Howe mould, and will be onto better things than MK Dons before long. But it doesn't matter how many passes they complete in the middle of the park, they're not going anywhere this season. They've lost 9 away from home for a start, the worst in the top 17.

I don't know about best tippy tappy football but it's nice to see others in this division sing the virtues of a style of play that you want to see played at all levels, for the good of the game. Lets leave the monkey tennis to the Scottish leagues.

 

[Gerbil]

f***ing deluded fool.

I caught a bit of the South Wales derby on the weekend and quite enjoyed the Cruyff turn the Swansea keeper pulled in his own area, with a Cardiff forward bearing down on him. It seems like this tippy tappy stuff is catching on.

 

[clippedgull]

He said something along the lines of Sheff Wednesday are the best team in the division last weekend!! Deluded fool

 

[Rookie]

Some harsh criticism, has anyone seen them play more than a couple of times (home game and tele)? They might play some good football and keep the ball who knows. It needs an end product though

To be fair - the Swans were playing it when we were still playing hoofball.

 

[KneeOn]

Who can blame him for bigging up his team?

He's wrong though.

Correct. They've led the way in the lower divisions. The stats Robinson refers to must be available. Can anyone get them? Would be surprised if he is right.
