What happened to traditional defenders?
Jonathan Morris
Leo Rodriguez
they became mountain man
Jackson Rogers
post-modernism
Bentley Evans
How do you feel about Mouyes - Celtic link?
Grayson Johnson
We finna spam 70 yard passes now bruh
Jason Reed
Pic related called him "Dutch-Smalling'. Kek
Oliver Davis
Managers realised having everyone actually be able to play football was quite a big help
Nolan Allen
Whistle happy refs made them obsolete
Jackson Cox
All zoomers want to score goals so you get shit to pick from as a manager
Cameron Lee
Defenders with shit first touch and passing have rightly been ostracised from the game. The cruyff revolution is complete
Parker Anderson
2-0 lead is no longer "a mountain to claim" these days
Luis Turner
> tfw the last two who are passionate about defending are dogshit at it
Angel Walker
When was it ever.
Christian Bennett
I mean Thiago Silva is the most overrated defender in Europe to be fair.
Jack Fisher
It's good for Celtic, not so much for him though. If it happens he'll probably want to move on after 2-3 years. It's not a big enough money club to really push in CL
Owen Wright
Who is Pique then?
Elijah Ortiz
That's what the pundits say at 2-0 scoreline when pic related were active
Evan Harris
don't need tactics anymore.
Klopp/Poch has broken football down to its essential elements where mourinho used a high concept version of zones and transitions are only navigable by literal genius level players like lampard (not for instagram brainlets like pogba)
Guardiola/Barca/Ajax is somewhere in the middle with a style that doesn't require particular intellect but very talented players who rehearse a possession and movements off the ball like an actor learning a script (it sounds tricky but with training it gets easier)
high press is just fitness + form/confidence + lulling the opponent into false sense of security
Evan Perez
To be fair, Pique has actually won trophies of note. Silva hasn't. Sorry Pierre, but Ligue 1 is not a worthy trophy.
Julian Gutierrez
Kayden Walker
That description of Ajax is perfect. Very scripted and drilled in.
Brayden Young
Imagine being this thick
