The unpopular football opinion thread


Deuce

Recommended Posts

Most of my opinions seem to be unpopular.

 

Here's a new one - David Pleat is a good pundit.

 

He was a better kerb crawler.

 

He wasn't like, he got caught.

 

Ah, but how many times did he crawl the kerbs before he was caught? If he did it once without being caught it makes him a better crawler than pundit.

 

Good point, i wonder how many times he got away with it.... :hmm:

 

I have to say, his Spurs side of 86-87 was one of the most entertaining sides I've ever seen. Hoddle and Waddle feeding an unstoppable striker in Clive Allen. Criminal they won fuck all.

 

Aye, the 4-5-1 system he deployed was a great way to play, Clive Allen just excelled in it up top.

 

It's fair to say Pleat was a real innovator here....before then 4-5-1 was always used in a negative manner, generally used by sides trying to leave Anfield or Goodison with a point.

 

Very true, i loved the way Hoddle was able to play in this system. It was Hoddle as his best imo. Now that was when a long pass was brilliant.

 

 

He was the finest I've ever seen, criminally under rated, and under used by Sir Bobby too.

Yeah the England thing didn't make sense at all, for me he was clearly our most skillful and talented midfielder at the time.

I think Lampard is and has been a superior player to Gerrard.

 

I never saw why people used to describe Fowler as the best natural finisher in England.  I thought he was quite average.

Always rated Lampard higher than Gerrard. Gerrard should have been dropped for England instead of trying to shoe horn the pair of them for so many games when it clearly wasn't working.

I'm the opposite. Lampard to me always has never been a team player, preferring to have 20 shots from 20 yards out every week and getting lucky now and again.

 

Why does he have the most assists in PL history behind Giggs then? You know I think you're a top poster Billy but the above is just nonsense perpetuated by people who can't stand him for his upper-middle class roots and prefer council lad Gerrard.

He'd walk into our side now that's for sure. I've never seen a better passer of the ball, certainly not an English one anyhow.

Longevity and the quality of players around him I guess. Deflected off target shots ricochetting into the path of select your Chelsea striker. I don't know. All I know is I've never recognised Lampard as a classy player, as I say football is all about opinions, and it would be tedious if everybody held the same one. Incidentally that last sentence of yours was possibly the worst I've seen on here. Utter nobrot.

It probably is popular now, but I think our wage structure is utterly gash and once again limits our ability to sign players of any quality who were paid handsomely before joining us.

When there's a clear foul, handball, etc. I've got no problem with a player trying to influence the ref into booking him or waving the imaginary card.

 

Ban this sick filth
