”Little pockets of space”.
It really is irritating. Scholes does it all the time. "Your Salah's and your Mane's".Pluralising last names.
That's pretty harsh on your Redknapps, your Sounesseses, your Scholeses, your Keanes, your Savages, your Keowns.Pluralising last names.
Wish I could give you a like for this. Add to this the people that are constantly going on about outdated tactical concepts. Touchline hugging wingers aren't coming back anytime soon, get over it!Anything that contains the words modern football. Nobody gives a feck about your opinion on an outdated factor in the game. Souness is the worst with this. Your day is never coming around again so stop with the worthless comparisons

Pretty much. Attacking attractive football certainly.3) The United way.
Is playing attacking football with exciting wingplay the United way?
Most of those have an obvious meaning but these two in particular do. We have all seen sides with more desire to win than the other team. And the second is a truism that usually comes from criticism that a team hasn't played very good sides yet, usually in a cup format competition. Slogan style phrases can be annoying and bit meaningless but some of those are meaningful under some circumstances."They wanted it more"
"You can only beat what is in front of you"
Surely the United way would be the way United play football? Slow, ponderous sideways passing is more apt than attacking wing play.Pretty much. Attacking attractive football certainly.
I think you must be much younger than me.Surely the United way would be the way United play football? Slow, ponderous sideways passing is more apt than attacking wing play.
If you're implying I've not seen them play wide attacking football then that's not entirely true. I've been watching since around 2001.I think you must be much younger than me.
Yes. Because it is the United way (tradition if you prefer) since at least the Munich air disaster. I'd rather we lose playing attractive attacking football (with or without true wingers) than win with boring Mourinho or van Gaal style football if that is the choice.But my point was why does a certain brand of football from a specific period get to be called the United way? Because that was exciting to watch and successful? What if we have a different coach with a very different style that becomes successful? Would it not be that good since it's not the United way? Do other clubs have such a thing? Like Liverpool? I'm not sure they played this high pressing style in the 80's.
