The unpopular football opinion thread


Deuce

Recommended Posts

I like Ian Holloway and I think the feeling of "oh, he might not be as funny as many people first thought" is completely overplayed.

 

He's an entertaining character, a decent manager and football is far better off with people like him.

Not sure why people are so against a creative midfielder.

 

We are clearly crying out for one, but no lets buy a striker with no service and expect things to magically change....

 

We could buy 10 strikers and nothing would change because the team has no width or creativity.

Buy a creative striker who drops into spaces, a Beardsley type. Not sure who and where from mind. Two birds with one stone and all that.

That's not a bad idea either, problem is where could we get such a player on our budget? :lol:

Surely Harem could play that role?

 

I think so, Pardew has flirted with it, Just hasn't given a good enough go to see if it will work.

Usually struggles to create space for himself and those around him from what i have seen.

 

Aye, he does seem to be better when he's coming in from wide, gets a bit crowded our starting inside. Not a bad thing to give a go though to see if he can make a go of it. You would have thought pre season was the time to try, instead of using the same tactics and formation we've used with so little success (4-2-3-1) last season.

I don't rate Ramires very highly. He's a great athlete, but an average footballer, imo.

 

I said something similar last night. He doesn't do anything of note most games, just standing at the centre circle passing to the nearest player.

I'm not sure that I believe in what it means to support your club any more. (I would class this as Bobby Robsons "What is a club in any case?" definition)

Support is simple. Pay yer subs. Cheer on the team.

 

It's the emotional ties beyond that that are giving us a good kicking right now. I reckon those small moments of joy and pride will always make it worth it though.

:thup: It's what keeps dragging you back, year after year. It's what 'supporting' a team is all about.

In your 3 man midfield (Barça aside) Ramires is the sort of up & down work horse you need alongside your deep lying and advanced playmaker IMO to make it work properly.

Yep.

 

He's a real danger when Chelsea play counter-attacking football. Was brilliant when Chelsea won the CL (against Barca he scored and assisted superbly) and FA Cup.
