Brief history of jeans in the USSR, if it takes your fancy.

That was an interesting read. I was watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia the other day and they made a boiled jeans reference which I thought they had made up for the show so this was actually really enlightening and timely. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty typical of Russian fans. The World Cup is going to be a hoot. And not in a good way.

I like to think everyone has a bit of Dennis inside them.

Look at those passing stats from our defenders ffs no wonder why we're always under pressure. Disgusting.

Cech - 16%

That 16% suggests to me we were kicking ball up field rather than playing out and we weren’t doing wel at all with aerial duels. Don’t know if we have those stats?

The low passing successful rate from our defense may suggest that:

1 the other team is pressing high
2 the number of the pressing players outnumbered our defence
3 our defenders have very few options to pass to
4 we are forced to play long
5 wenger made no adjustment to our tactics to get us out of this situation

6- our defenders are awful

7 - Cech's long passes are terrible

When is my boy Ospina coming back?
We should have binned agent Helmet after his 200th clean sheet

Sad

If this is true an urgent discussion needs to be had with FIFA to demand that if this happens during the World Cup it will be cancelled and all cancellation costs be passed on to the hosts.

6- our defenders are awful

They look awful because our tactics is bad.

If you put Tony Adams on his own, in a situation with no passing option, and he alone have to deal with 5 attacking players, what do you think the result would be?

Modern tactics is all about finding ways to outnumbering your opponent or avoiding the other way around. A world class defensive line will look bad under Wenger, because he doesn’t adapt the modern tactics.

Plot twist: It was Monreal, not the CSKA fans

But that’s not what’s happening though is it?

Koscienly, Mustafi, Cech and co aren’t up in 5v1 situations. They’re up in 1v1 situations (if that) and they’re consistently coming up short.

Wenger is past it and it’s his fault that these guys are starting for us, but you can’t blame his tactics for everything. We have some dreadful defenders at this club.

I’m just giving an example of why their passing successful rate was so low. It’s a tactical problem. If we have adjust to the opponent press by providing more number/passing options at the back, the rate wouldn’t be that low. I’m talking about passing here, not defending.

However, I agree that the defensive error made was down to bad performance of individual players.

 

[Football Manager]

Wenger just don’t play the number game like all the good young managers do.

So does Dennis.
