Most annoying football cliche?

"They really need to win this one" i think everyone connected to the club (players, manager, fans) would know that if magnitudes is as such

I also feel the term "World Class" gets thrown into analysis/commentary too easily now adays
 
“Pep won’t have been a success at City unless he wins the Champions League.”

I guess that means 99.9% of managers/coaches IN THE WORLD will never be a success!

If/when he ever wins it with us, it’ll be about how long it took him, and how many “missed opportunities” there were, as if ANYONE has a divine right to win anything!

Incidentally, that would also mean that Wenger was not a success at Arsenal. Pretty ridiculous, eh?

Pretty much anything to do with goalkeeping. "Shouldn't get beaten at your near post" and "should have done better" both spring to mind.

The latter, in particular, since it's said whenever a goalie gets their fingertips to a shit. In those cases they'd get less criticism if they made less of an effort to save it.

Both Kaspar Schmeichel and Kevin Pressman have talked about that and how irritating it is. Loads of hot takes from people who know dick about goalkeeping.

"Gid rid of <insert manager name> now as he has no Plan B"

Said by football supporters up and down the land who's qualifications include watching the game after being in the pub since 11am on matchday, or having the ability to take Vauxhall Motors to PL & CL glory 8 years on the trot via Football Manager 2023.

How hard can it be? :)

I was listening to the Chelsea v Real Madrid game and was getting really sick of Sutton calling Lampard ‘Frank’.
 
He's missed that penalty, after the goal keeper has just saved it,
a miss is wide, the post/crossbar or over.

The managers lost the dressing room.

How? As he picked a whole bastard room up and put it down safe so that he’ll remember where it is?


Or is that last bit just me? \O/

On a serious note, for a second, Nasri's interview and his remarks about Mancini, if we can assume he's telling the truth (and he'd have no reason not to at this stage), are quite illuminating. Love Roberto, but in the privacy of the dressing room and on the training ground he does seem to have behaved more like a player than a manager in some ways. I can imagine Vin being angry with his players at Burnley, but I can't really imagine him telling one of them to fuck off.

Remember when QPR went 2-1 up in 2012, you can see him going mental at the players shouting ‘fuck you’ at them. It did get a reaction though classic man management. Oops there’s another cliche.

That can go both ways, you know. I actually don't think there's any such thing as man management, unless it takes account of the specific man you're managing. Yes, you're part of a team. But you're also an individual, with your own temperament and beliefs.

Anyway, back to clichés. What we can agree on is that Nasri was not prepared to “take one for the team” when he was famously part of that free-kick wall against the rags.
 
The 'run in' when theres about half a season to go. Made up by Sky to try and drive subs so every match in Feb seems 'crucisl' . I prefer pre Sky when a poor result in Feb was put into context. Ohh well. Bad day v Coventry or whoever. Should have won that, onwards and upwards though. NOW.... disaster City draw with Wolves in what could be a title decider, should Pep go, who is this Haaland fella. Is he really all that for £50m ...February 2nd..20XX
