Szamo's_Ammo Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Just now, ewan14 said: What is the relatively recent phrase for " parking the bus " , defending in depth etc ? Jose Mourinho coined that phrase early in his first spell at Chelsea after they drew 0-0 with Tottenham. Spurs were very negative and "parked the bus" on the goal line to kill the game and escape with a draw. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacky1990 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 When any central defender doesnt just hump it the way they are facing they are deemed to be "comfortable in possession" or a "ball playing centre half". Taking 5 or 6 touches to then either shell it forward or pass it a few metres to the side is not, and never has been, something to celebrate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, being able to control and pass a ball is a fundamental of football. Goalkeepers should be able to take a ball down, trap it and kill it dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacky1990 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Not sure if this is just a cliché or should be in the terrible journalism thread, but describing every bad bit of play as a player/team just lacking in confidence really boils my piss. ................ Striker skies the ball over the bar from 3 yards out... just a lack of confidence. Defender gets skinned one-on-one time and again (looking at you Shane Duffy)... really lacking in confidence. Team in an awful run of form... all they need is a bit more confidence. ................ Utter, utter shite. Nothing about poor technique or decision making. Nothing about poor tactics or just a player/manager being shite. All about confidence lads. Just think you are the dog's bollocks and you'll be ripping up La Liga with Messi and co.

As am I, I once scored direct from a corner with my left foot. Was a splendid effort; whipped in with pace and style, right over the keepers head and into the side of the net. A cultured effort. When I hit it, it stayed it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Round of games" or old-fashioned "league card" IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
