I think you’ll find the author gets paid. Please take note of the sites advertisements. Plus the site endorses gambling; arguably the biggest debilitating medium on the planet.

If you’re not mature enough to understand not everybody has the same opinion, I think it’s probably best you don’t use web-sites such as this one

Blue, best you don’t post on here as you always disagree with VfaB and hurl childish insults at someone who gives his time to create well thought out points of view.
Please go somewhere else if you don’t like this site and vote with your feet rather than your gob. Thanks and goodbye

What a total pathetic rant. The author needs to get himself on the Bluemoan forum.

As if you know more than the manager

These arm chair fans make me laugh

Atletico Madrid beat Barca playing 4-4-2 because their players pressed like devil from hell. The system suits the players styles and types. And they work their socks off for the full 90 minutes pressing and pressing and pressing and … However, City is not a pressing team and neither they can field a team on the pitch in which all players can commit 90 minutes to a pressing game like Atletico. It only takes one player failing to press say Silva or Nasri and that is enough for the whole system to crash by affording space esp to a possession based team like Barca to retain the ball and you then end up chasing the game.

In EPL in majority of games when team park the bus, our 4-4-2 seems okay because we own the majority of possession. However, Barca, Read Madrid, Bayern, etc they are totall new ball game. You can not treat those games the same.

4-4-2 in Barca game was a big mistake and a wrong tactical decision in that context.
