BrianSwan Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 We all know Man City play great football... But what are some lower tier, less known clubs who play good entertaining football? Leeds United play nice under Bielsa, Brentford always played nice. Who else? Any League One and Two fans seen anything in their divisions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Last season's Ajax side played far better attacking football than any of Guardiola's teams to date. His strategy of hogging possession is aimed at strangling the opposition's attacks as much as it is to scoring goals, so completely tedious, one-way drivel normally ensues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were very, very good. But Man City vs Spurs the other day was a masterclass. They City play like that they are almost unstoppable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Guardiola sides aren't "attacking", they're simply a case of working defences around the park until they slip up. The Andy Murray of football clubs. Heynckes pre-Pep Bayern side is the best side theres been, although it depends on how attacking you consider blowing sides away on the counter is.

ForzaDundee Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) The possession style has absolutely ruined football. Football was never supposed to be played like this and I'm sure it's only enjoyed by virgins. Think how class football would be with a half-court violation rule like basketball.

Nobody cares about a football game where one side hogs >70% possession as usual and uses it all to try and keep a clean sheet.

quickoverayard Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Have to disagree. Pep if a genius, the barca team he had was the best side i have ever seen and if he hangs around city i can see them reaching those heights.Man city are more than a possession based side, the pace they have going forward is unreal, swap players around in wide areas and its a different dynamic completely..... liverpool however depend on Salah, Mane and Firmino to be watchable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I loved Guardiola's Barca side yet I do find City games dull to watch. Messi could and did lift Barca to incredible heights in that spell. Rather watch Liverpool than City TBH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
