Cracks me up that they think in the 16 or so hours that Guardiola will actually get to work with the squad in an average week that he should waste time demonstrating exactly how to slide on your arse on a wet pitch. Tactics, technique, attacking plays? Nah lads, today we're going to work on getting a toe to the ball.They are still jumping on that comment by Pep that he doesn't teach tackling in training & somehow inferring from that, that Pep wants all tackling banned. Are these supposedly intelligent journalists being serious to even think that any coach not just Pep spends time in training teaching their players in how to tackle. By the time a player has broken into the first team, if that player doesn't already know how to tackle then what hope is there for them. Work on defensive shape & organization by all means & where to position oneself at set pieces but teaching professional players how to tackle FFS. I can just imagine Pep taking Kompany or Otamendi to one side for an hour during each training session & saying "Listen guys when you are running side by side with an opposing forward this is how you tackle them". The mind boggles that these journalists seem to think that's what goes on in training.

Spose so.well, out of the 12 people who probably watched it and know what's he on about, only 5 will probably be online.

Disagree Jimmy. The managers you mention would all love a toe on the thigh or shin.Excellent post , managers like Allardyce , Pardew , Dyche , Warnock will all love a toe on the ball , i imagine their pre match tactical DVD/video for their players is the John Smiths advert "ave it".
Ha Ha. You don't like it then?
To be honest, only started it when I needed new hips and knees. The only exercise I can do is walking, so try and hit that little fecker into a hole for a bit of competition, but more often than not into a river or out of bounds
But only as a third choice behind 12 studs and 6 studs in that order.Disagree Jimmy. The managers you mention would all love a toe on the thigh or shin.
