SafewayFox Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April 35% possession yet had 4 “clear cut chances”. Scoring 5 from 6 on target too. Those numbers are almost the opposite our passive/limp recent away performances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVFox Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April So much better when we play with intensity. It allows us to tear teams apart in the shapes Enzos tactics creates for us. Gives great hope for next season if Enzo stays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmayne7 Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April Jesus, look what happens when you actually press the ball and when you realise that possession isn't the be all and end all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicsmac Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April 3 minutes ago, Analysethis said: Football fans, populism and reactionary thought in a nutshell, and today shows why that isn't always the best basis for action. On the actual topic, Soton played to every one of the strengths the team has by looking to come forward rather than parking the bus and you'd think Enzo set them up knowing that, with this result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the most Enzo loving fans would acknowledge he was more flexible with his obsession with possession etc tonight….something that has probably caused a few fans to question him during our recent very poor run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April the way we counter attacked against a team that had to come to us…. I hope that gives Maresca food for thought for next season… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April Say what you want about him, he's a thousand times the manager Russel Martin is. Loved his passion tonight as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfc-1992 Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April Promising signs that he’s willing to change it up. Going long from goal kicks and more direct. 2 or 3 passes and we were at their defence, more of the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April Questions remain about his philosophy but so refreshing to have a human with emotions leading the team instead of a bloke phoning it in for his cash and reputation protecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April I think tonight was more of a sign of what we could see in the PL in terms of approach to the game. If we go up… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April Can’t remember who said it on here last week, but a poster stated that the football could be better under Enzo in games where we don’t dominate possession. On the evidence of tonight, that statement looks correct. Time for Enzo to turn us into a counter attacking team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble92 Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April Very pleased for Enzo. The criticism of him has been fully deserved and I've given him a lot recently. The away defeats were beyond infuriating. But I've always wanted him to do well and that's what was so annoying about it all. It's not some Gary Megson type that we know is doomed. He has all the potential to be great for us. He's just been so ****ing stubborn. Lets hope this is the turning point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the evidence of tonight, that statement looks correct. Time for Enzo to turn us into a counter attacking team Exactly this. Moving the ball quicker and more dynamic, we can tear teams apart.. generally it's too slow and passive, especially in a league where we are the favourites and teams sit back. Hopefully in the PL teams will come and have a go at us and then it gives us chance to play like tonight.. frankly I'm just enjoying the present though, next year is going to be a struggle with the punishments coming our way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, he said post match he thinks we should have played more (which basically means pass around slowly) and we've had better performances. I think he looks at the posession stats before anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Matt Posted 23 April Popular Post Share Posted 23 April I’m not gonna let the comments get to me because tonight was so throughly enjoyable but come on Enzo. “I don’t think it was our best performance of the season.” ”On the ball we could play more better because there was space to play and we could keep the ball more.” ”I think we had more games where the team was better on the ball.” Maresca on Fatawu: “The next two games he’ll be on the bench else he’ll be shooting from everywhere.” I get that last one is very much tongue in cheek but even so. Come on Enzo, even you have to admit it was pretty impressive and enjoyable tonight. 34% Possession. 17 Shots to their 7. 6 Shots on Target to their 0! 362 passes to their 719. 5 Goals to their 0. What’s not to like?! It’s what you do with the ball, and tonight, we did a lot! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
