Blanchflower78 Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 If your Madders you'd be all over this. Attacking, fluid, noisey crowd, passion. Wouldn't begrudge him if he fancied it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unabomber Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 (edited) Makes me really just want an all out attacking manager. I used to think Howe was a fraud but I was wrong. Even if you lose at least you have been entertained. We play like shit and still don’t grind out results.

What winds me up is that we've historically been the masters of doing this.

EastAnglianFox Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 Wtf is going on, literally every other team in this league seems to be going for it, win or lose.

Matt Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 I was only saying earlier football come in cycles and the sooner this cycle of inane boring, possession for the sake of possession football ends the better, for the game. It's boring and many match going fans (of other clubs) i've spoke to are also getting pissed off and almost going off the game. You may aswell watch Chess or Rugby, where they are encouraged to go sideways and backwards, it's in the rules, the irony being is that they still get forwards quicker than some football teams. I kinda think, hope, that change is starting, they're still few and far between but we are seeing teams play with more of a mindset to have possession with purpose, no ****s given, forward play, on the front foot, attacking, exciting football from the odd (and it still is literally the odd) team, here and there. Hopefully it'll only be a matter of time until possession, tippy tappy, sideways and backwards nonsense ball is for dinosaurs. Please LCFC, don't get left behind, be pro-active. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
