Well whats the point of crossing it then? might aswell pass the ball back to chelsea... the point that im trying to make is if your going to make your full backs overlap (since of midfielders don't provide natural width) and get crosses in at least play someone who can head the ball or is going to cause a problems for chelsea...Ancelltoi got his tactics spot on...Wenger didn't.
I dont think there is any team in the world (including barc; say what you want just my opinion) that can match our pass and move game...teams know that and dont come to play ball....Ancelloti tried it when he was at milan and his team got destroyed...Scolari tried it last season at the Bridge and we outplayed Chelsea and won.
Wenger and our players rely to much on natural talent and ability rather then proper tactics and a game plan; this has to change.
Look at a crap Grecce side winning the euros (beating france, Czechs, Portugal along the way)
An average Italian side winning the world Cup.
Both won due to good game plan than skill....both Ferguson and Ancelloti have shown us up in that respect.
Sad but true!
Bullsh*.. too much is made of tactics being the difference. Final score is usually a result of too many variables LUCK and breaks being a major factor.
But look back all the way to the 70s if you wish to. Look at teams that have been successful and the football they have played. You can apply this on clubs and international. Has Chelsea won the CL yet even with the "genius" or "special one" leading them?
Good teams usually win. If you keep possession of the ball, you are more likely to do more damage than if you dont. Stats dont lie on that..most teams that win usually had more possession.
We watch too much EPL football that we speak in that very language of our lazy ass pundits/commentators. So much was made of Barca's only shot on that day against Chelsea like just shooting is the only factor to determine a moment of danger.
You take a shot and it goes wide and thats to be considered a plus on your attacking power. You curve the team and your final pass to a open player is few cms short and goes off but that is not considered a dangerous moment even though the person was all clear to score had he received it. You will be accused of passing and passing with no final product by our beloved know it all english media.
you make you're own luck, saying that Chelsea beat us was due to luck is BS... we have lost the last 6 or so games against manure and chelsea and i know we had greater possession in all those games....so are all those games we lost due to bad luck?
I'm sure if we were in Spain we would have won the league in the last few seasons but we're not so its an irrelevant point.
If your saying too much is being made out of tactics then whats the point of having a manager lol...why did bolton always get a result against us???? were they flukes? or was it tactics?
Tactics are a vital part of football....to think otherwise just makes you look silly.
