Carnage is the word he used, I think.

Sounds a bit Bielsa-y. If you're right then there is method in the apparent madness and it is something that can be improved upon over time. Lets see how it plays out over the season. Whether we crack it...or it cracks us!

Good post, thanks. Yes I probably was a bit harsh on the idea of intensity, at least partly because I'm not great at clearly explaining what I mean. For me it's a way of winning the ball but not necessarily a descriptor of using it. I think part of my issue so far is how different we appear...

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure it is clear for all to see, or at least not on the streams I've been watching! Maybe live it's easier to spot. If, how you describe it, is the plan then it would perhaps explain the players frequently moving into the same spaces and occasionally even...

I understand the wider perspective, if the wider perspective is results, new players in a new league, new coach in a new league etc. I am not anti FH or FH out or anything like that. However in terms of the game plan - press high, squeeze the opposition and play with intensity is a very...

Which is? Genuine question as currently I can't work out what it is beyond the high line. And it's my lack of understanding of what we're trying to do that is stopping me from getting fully on board the fab train. If I knew what we were trying to do I could see where we're at and where...

With the world on the verge of WW3 this is the news the world really needs right now. We can now relax safe in the knowledge of which stadiums will be hosting fifa's well thought out, much needed and definitely not a vanity project/money grab tournament. I for one am PUMPED for it and cannot...

"Our fans are nowhere near where theyused to be" What, they're literate now?

Now, this is a thread I can enjoy.

Yes. No.

But...but...but... Don't take hope away from me, it's all I've got.

Ah ya ya. That played out pretty much as we feared. It concerns me that I can't work out what it is we're actually trying to do but what really worries me is I'm not convinced the players do either. We look shapeless, the amount of passes, often simple ones, that we misplace seems way too...

A little bit, yes. The quality of football has been appalling. We have played like a not particularly good schoolboy team. Chelsea, not much better.

f*** me. I'm not entirely sure what to say about that other than if either team was even within the same postcode as mildly competent defending it would be 0-0. We've made it ridiculously easy for Chelsea even as they've tried to return the compliment. As if playing that high line with slow...

Coldplay are one of those bands that everyone has to tell you their feelings on. And as I'm a human, here are mine: Loved Parachutes - it is/was a lovely little album. Liked Rush of blood to the head - there are/were some great songs on it. I drifted away from the third album on. I saw...

I too fear a hammering but I'm going to go into the game hoping that Baleba is going to monster Caicedo, Mitoma will have whoever their right back is on toast, Welbeck will score another header, Enciso will smash one in form 25 yards, Ferguson will get back to scoring ways, Minteh and/or Adingra...

I was going to say that he had played rugby...but then I thought about the level he ended up at and apart from playing for Longhill i'm not sure what other rugby he played. So to get to where he has in the game is pretty remarkable. As far as I'm aware football was his first love - he was...

He scored from the half way line against me once. We were 12 or 13!

His older brother. One of those people who is annoyingly good at every sport. Excellent footballer as well as rugby player but his size led him to turn pro at rugby over football. Nice guy, I hope he does well with England.
