"In and around" bothers me.
I heard Dion Dublin saying that the striker needs players in and around him! So the striker needs players in him?
They all just copy each other and don't really think what they are saying really.
When asked what a team needs to do to turn the game around; nearly all of them just trot out "they need to move it quicker"
Dublin should keep his sick fantasies to himself
shdSnoopRicky BlottoPlease could you elaborate on what they all mean? Asking for a friend.
False 9 is more of a hybrid role - can lead the line but also drops deep.
Firmino did at Liverpool as striker who drops off, Messi did it at Barcelona as a player who could just go anywhere.
High press is about not having the ball - pressuring the team with it to make a mistake near their own goal by cutting off passing options and closing down the player with the ball.
Inverted winger is basically a winger who cuts inside more with the ball, rather than sticks to the sideline.
….so one footed then
No?
It is about how a team wants to set up, not the number of feet the player has.
The term “striker” wasn’t heard before the late 70s in my memory…
We are In The Ascendancy and On The Transition
Jack Jarvis Esq.Transition (counter attack)
Transition isn't a counter attack. It's the moment you either lose or gain possession. It's the movement and positioning of the players to support the attack or fall back into defensive positions, or maybe initiate a press depending on where you lose possession. Triggers depending on who you lost the ball to or where on the pitch you gained it can be decisive.
‘One Direction’ - I thought it was a crap band but it’s actually forcing a team to play out to one side of the pitch.
I can't believe I got through life only asking 'Who scored' & not but who made the assist

I’m on your side, the rare occasions I watch the sounds soon off. They seem instructed to talk all the time so come out with some twaddle. And most annoyingly tell you the same thing several times.

They don’t tell me or anyone anything let’s be honest 😀

XG, Xbox speak but, the winner for me...'we were in a good moment'...bought in by foreign coaches (which is fair enough when English isn't your first language) but now being used by British born pundits, players and managers.
It's gobbleaduke, berks. 😁
XG had shortfalls but it’s clearly a lot better than ‘shots on target’ which really is meaningless
