We Are The Reds

Cocktril is a kent and a half. Always nice to steal a goal before the game settles. It's like a head start

It does it terms of producing technically capable and creative players. Spain haven't produced the current crop by coincidence, and by contrast neither has England.

In an ideal world what you're saying would be true. Kids would play football with minimal influence and we'd produce a lot of creative players. However most countries have a curriculum in place to ensure players are developed according to the system they want to play. Hence why Japan/Korea produce a...

I, just like Wednesday night :/. I think it will be fantastic with Carrusca as an inside-left (if he's all he's cracked up to be). A Boogaard/Fife pairing will be fine, and I think Zenon will come into his own as a CDM. The problem will be Cassio and Bowles ability to support, both hold onto the bal...

I agree with everything you're saying. However It's been proven that the systematic 4-4-2 doesn't develop fluent, techically competent footballers. Look at the countries that have implemented it for decades and how they are being surpased it terms of development. Secondly, the group stage tactics an...

there's a reason two banks of four gets trophies. Considering Brisbane Roar have just won the competition 2 years in a row implemting something similar it sort of throws your logic out the window. Please don't ever get involved with player development, that sort of opinion is exactly why we're stru...

Guys check out this site. http://www.thepathismadebywalking.com By keeping a very keen eye on things, both the trial games and the ACL quarter finals it's pretty evident Kossie's system is based loosely on this. Popularised by Barca and broken down and put into practise by Brendan Rogers at Swansea ...

Agree with everything LUFCMike said. Summe up everything to a tee. The entire performance was a disgrace, Kossie's "tactical" decision to start Van Dijk was baffling. We couldn't press, we couldn't keep possession an we couldn't move the ball quickly enough. Jeronimo does look good, Huge will always...

Bruce has to be on the pitch if we want him taking a penal- scratch that. He'd probably miss it

Will Kossie now take the chance and bring on Bruce to pair with Jerry?

Not yet. 5 mins

Told ya. Another red in this

Traditionaly in aggregate competition, yes. A 3-3 wont go to penalties.

Btw. Away goals count as double in extra time

He's not being saved. He'll be on
