yuddie 1,163 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Saw someone mention that Utd were 8/1 for the win. Predict that to someone in 2008 and they'd have brought back lobotomy. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too tactical and formulaic (mirrored in the stands by the ultras, in their matching outfits, with ubiquitous chants and identical behaviour). I don't disagree. I do think the game is becoming saturated with teams that play positional play a la Guardiola. There will always be a dominant style; that's happened for over a century. However, we have seen a reaction against that style with the geggenpressing style and now the relationism of Fluminense's Diniz and Malmo's Rydstrom. It will take a while for the latter style to spread. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One General Relativity, and the other Special Relativity, I take it. Which one is which?

Nothing better than a tricky winger, though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
