Since you asked nicely, IIRC what me and Maccy discussed was Pep changing the game by bringing a KDB or so off the bench.Originally Posted by HCZ_Reborn
Could be worse, could be arguing that Chelsea is a good model for running a club. Then I’d have all my work ahead of me
But on this I will concede, it did sound like you were talking in general rather than presumably what you did mean about bringing players onto the field from the bench during the match.
But given how you’ve promoted the heedless Chelsea approach, I think I can be forgiven for this misunderstanding
And for you to claim any argument is ridiculous only proves to me it’s value so thank you
Maccy felt Haaland could be unchained if that occured. But my argument was that giving him better service necessarily would not make difference because he was being marshalled out and that was the problem.
When we discussed "goal threats" we were talking about the supporting acts. Saka is a goal threat. Trossard use to be one till he got a bit pompous and broke himself.
In the good old days, before they got over reliant on Haaland's monster contributions, KDB and Foden were potent goal threats. KDB seems to be succumbing to age (though I think age shouldn't stop something that's instinctive) and IMO Foden has been on a downward spiral since his old bunkmate Palmer started burning the charts.
Pep's version of tippy tappy excels when the supporting act is actually the main act if you ask me. The last 2 years that he has struggled to win the league was when he changed the mode to suit Haaland. Note there are a lot of parallels with the way Arteta sets us up too.
Anyway, back to our childish squabbles. Its funny you choose to mention Chelsea. I noticed in an earlier post you also gave them a shout out for a tittle challenge (probably more to suit your Anti-Liverpool rhetoric). If they did win it, would they be doing a Leicester too? Would you eat your words on how badly run a club they are and how there model can only lead to failure? BTW it seems you are digging a new whole for yourself with United too, but don't let me stop you underating everyone except Citeh.
It's been a pretty interesting season so far. If we had adequately prepared ourselves and were doing better I would have rated it as the best season in ages. Anyway I do hope the surprises, which are actually not surprises, continue.
