Koke Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Atletico Madrid with 28% possession tonight. Remind you of anyone? 2
Corky Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Atletico Madrid with 28% possession tonight. Remind you of anyone? Absolutely loved the fact they booted everything out of their area until the 87th minute when the left back marauds forward to win a penalty
Koke Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Absolutely loved the fact they booted everything out of their area until the 87th minute when the left back marauds forward to win a penalty They're getting a heap of praise from English fans for knocking Barcelona out but we get stick for winning that same way low possession, low passing stats, boot every ball into the stand, and play on the counter. There's only one way of playing football - the winning way.
dayday Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Sunderland have a 10 page thread on whether we are on drugs, they really are a strange lot.

There's only one way of playing football - the winning way. You're doing us a bit of an injustice there. Winning or not we play exciting football the majority of the time and do pass the ball. Only when we're off our game are our long balls aimless.

Only when we're off our game are our long balls aimless. I agree. We don't hoof it aimlessly like they accuse us of. We can and do pass it and create openings. Our possession stats are very low for a side top of the league, as if possession alone wins games. Atletico are in the Champions League semi finals with 28% possession and they won 2-0. 1

yorkie1999 Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 (edited) Good article on sky sports about atletico and leicester being the best teams at playing without the ball. Apparently the sides with the top players like keep hold of the ball but that leads to more mistakes, so if you can play without the ball you make less errors and the team that makes less errors wins the game.

Atletico have low possession stats against Espanyol and Celta Vigo. When they won La Liga few years back they were 9th or 10th in the possession table, below some bang average sides in the bottom half. Case in point, last weekend Atletico beat Betis 5-1 and they only had 50% possession. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35928637 I'm sure Atletico get a lot of hate in Spain, but I'm glad they are successful like this.
easilee Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Is he's Felixstowe Fox's son? HaHa! I swear I thought the exact same thing. Must be a whole breed of them dotted around youtube with the same seanse of humour.
Len Finsbury Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 I look at it as a players vs tactics debate. The richest clubs can afford the best players and can rely a little less on tactics. The financially challenged clubs can't compete on the player front so have to rely more on the tactical side of the game to give them an advantage. If you crack both, you have a super club like the traditional European giants. If you get both wrong, you end up with Villa

erlee Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 THE LEICESTER EFFECT Every coach & football pundit is analysing it - is it a theory, is it a method.... or is it just a blink when all the planetary (players?) aligned for a once in a life-time outcome & never to be repeated ?
