My daughters team is the same u10s, Keepers aren't allowed kick the ball out of their hands and also not allowed kick long from a goal kick.

The ball always has to be played to either full back from a goal kick and keep playing around the back until an option becomes available.

To be honest they are a really good team, Funnily enough the teams that cause them problems are the ones who go long and panic sets in with the players they really find it difficult in those situations.

Youve just said it. It suits “really good teams”. Trouble is with the theory is … what if you arent a really good team ? What if the kids just arent capable? What if its easier for them and suits the players to go long? Is that bad ?
I coach my lads team and its nice to watch them pass it about, probs low/mid level. But every now and then hoof the thing :)


we digress.

I would do if that’s what he said but he didn’t.

I’m not saying that they were his exact words but I’m surprised if anyone thinks that was a normal interview.

Spectacular collapse against the worst United team I can remember since, well, O'Farrell's lot. They were dire and somehow we contrived to gift them 3 points that even they could scarcely believe they'd get based on the first 85 minutes.
Nunes, Doku and Ederson with the errors in the goals but Haaland and De Bruyne stank the place out just as much.
At least the City accounts are in good health and profits are high.

If that's not typical City I don't know what is.

This one hurts. It’s the first time I’ve felt a proper wrench in the stomach in this run of form. I can’t stand that lot, but they were so bad it was painful and yet we still imploded. That should have been 3 points and move on but you could see we were going to blow it the moment the pen was given away.

Eddie was never saving the pen and I’m not sure Nunes has looked up since the mistake, his body language felt like it took the team with him.

We need to advance the recruitment drive from whatever was planned for the summer if the board feel Pep has it in him. The recruitment also needs to be a lot more inspiring than it has been for a while.

Feels like in the summer we need a proper sit down and a look at the future of this team and learn from the mistakes that have lead to this. We really should be re-assessing our use of the academy, the level that is now starring for other teams in the league is overwhelming and instead of sales and net profit we perhaps should be looking at loans and then integrating into the first team.

The reason it hurts me is because I can't see Pep repairing the damage that's been done. I hope he doesn't walk after all those magnificent years but I think he will.

Has Foden been caught shagging pep’s daughter or something I do believe something is troubling him he’s a shadow of his former self

Inexplicably they all do mate.Even my hero the great man couldn’t find his passes today.

Pep cant evolve without the players....

No he can’t evolve but his football can with a change of tactics, bin the high line, play on the counter, do something different to stop the rot of conceding 2 goals every game. That 2nd half isn’t worth speaking about, pointless passing and turgid.

The tone of Peps voice the past few months has been strange, I thought a few months ago

And before. He's only fukin human ateotd. Just want him to make the right decision for his and all of sakes. The kids need to play - he just can't drop his past it soldiers. Said it months too!

 

[failsworthblueboy]

Do you think we showed any spine today?

We did unfortunately is was bright yellow.

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

He tried to back heel it and missed the ball. Just let it hit you ffs and bounce out

That would mean Gvardiol would have a small sense of defensive nous then though.
