It's amazing how more structured we look after 3 games and we're attacking and defending as a unit with more fluidity. Yet last year and for the last year under Mancini, one of my gripes was that we looked too structured and this was affecting our ability to shift the ball quickly. Players are interchanging much more now so if for example, Stones goes forward, Dinho immediately covers for him.

Not stalking you btw ;)

We do and its all about Peps philosophy. The team attacking in a structured way which ensures we always have two options to pass to, in close proximity, and if we lose it we can quickly counter press in numbers as those same players will be in close proximity to win the ball back.

That is the beauty of having KDB and Silva playing just off the front three, they will always offer support to the forward players and be the players who will play the decisive ball, our most tecnical players, and be facing the oppositions goal. The experts call them the interiors. No worries no injunction applied for just yet.

No question to answer.

I asked "the back pass rule comes in and is only implemented in games involving Mike Dean and/or Man City, does that still not matter?"

It's fairly straightforward.

So it's not written down anywhere?

You forget I go on the piss with these "experts" that are on football panels out here when they are on the Bein payroll.

So yes, I fully could get behind certain points being exaggerated to fit the script.

So Sky are lying?

No, it's childish and nonsensical.

Perhaps if you explained the logic behind your ascertations you could persuade your doubters?

"Sky" or the nob that presents guilty of exaggerating?

 

[SWP's back]

No, it's childish and nonsensical.

Because you know the answer would be "well yes that would matter"

Which then nullifies your presumption that just one corner adhering to the "new rules" from a full day of football isn't a problem.
