New football terminology is stupid

[urban genie]

A No10
A 8
The 6 role
Double pivot
Quarterback
Inverted whatever


I find them all annoying

what is a number ten or eight?

in the traditional 1-11 shirts either were used for secondary strikers or attacking midfielder theycare not a positon or even a set number anymore.
Same goes for 6, Steve Redmond wore 6 ffs

Double pivot and quarter back can just fuck off, it's 2 x DMs and a Playmaker.

Finally inverted, you mean players cut inside from the flanks, players alway have.

Pundits are twats and talk shite


I have used the term double pivot myself and feel thoroughly ashamed of myself ;-)

Sort the title out please mate.

 

[Keeper!]

Double pivot, expected goals ffs

Possession stats also do my head in, goals in the back of the net is all that matters.

Don't start me on Xg, complete nonsense and it can get in the bin

 

[Zubrman]

Whatever happened to the 'inside right' or its left side equivalent?

 

[Gabriel]

Fullbacks, Halfbacks and inside forwards. The rest is gibberish. And the trainer should have nothing more than a metal bucket, filled with rainwater, and a sponge.

 

[Citizen52]

Low block. Parking the bus was suddenly deemed inadequate.

 

[hilts]

Transition and all that other mentioned shite, people then spout all this waffle and it makes them feel like Pep:-)

 

[citizen_maine]

Half space

I agree, it is all gibberish. I never heard any of those terms when I was young, so maybe it's a generation thing.
Like a lot of people who are getting on a bit I don't identify with most people of a certain age group, teens, late teens etc.
Garbage like Celebrity Big Brother comes on and I've never heard of most of the so-called 'stars.'
