Between the lines is another one which crops up a lot.

Please 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.

Thanks. What is Ollie Burke?

False 9 - it’s hardly new. Puskas played the role in the 50’s when England were thrashed home and away by Hungary, much to the bewilderment of Billy Wright etc al.

I have been to see Houston Dynamo play (Nice little stadium) and it was great fun listening to the comments around us. Also who would of thought it possible to eat a pile of nachos, a huge hotdog and a coke the size of a bucket in your seat but many of them managed it 🤣

I think Puskas was more of an inside forward, with someone else at false 9. Hence Puskas scoring a couple while Wright etc tried to work out where the 9 had gone.

But yeah, I think it has been used periodically by more tactically astute managers, the last 10 years has just seen more frequent and widespread use.
Low block can do one.

Shame to hear ex top pro's going along with this and using it. Have heard Linekar, keown, ricards , savage say it?
Why, they were brought up saying nonsense like low block!

All transition means is that you have given the ball away

Now you mention it, I think it was Hidegkuti (spelling poss wrong) who played the ‘false centre forward’. Some people don’t half get irritated about things they appear not to even understand.

"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"

"Turnovers" and English players / managers saying "we're in a moment" can all stick it up their harris.

Underlapping fullbacks?? Just a run inside the winger.

I doubt phraseology like ‘put it in the mixer’ and ‘skin him’ was around Stanley Matthew’s time…..

Football terminology just like the English language itself has always evolved
