A mix of the two used to be important in any team. Now almost every player has to have both those qualities. You can't get away with just being technical or physical.
But you've never really seen top teams with just physical or technical.
The top teams have always had a blend of the two.
That blend coming from most of the players having both attributes.
You used to have the odd player who had just one of those attributes but you have the odd one now as well.
Nothing has changed in football in that regards. United's team in the 90's was lauded as being the best but also the hardest working.
The Premier League is getting safer. Most clubs are playing with less and less flair.
Newbie here, hence posting here. Not optimistic about this evening; thinking Amorim is setting us up too defensively again. Hoping I'm wrong....
We start every game terribly, like Amorim has given the opposition the gameplan and notes for how to beat us the day before.
Why do we start so bad in almost every game. Are our tactics to just hoof it long, its shocking.
The first 10 minutes were terrible though, Sociedad were all over us and giving the ball away left right and centre. Only led at half-time in 5 out of 26 games under Amorim.
Actually played much better now since conceding, hope it continues.
Well, at least it seems there's been a reaction to going down, which is unusual of late. Some hope!
Come on Rasmus, keep going lad. Get your goal and more will follow.
Very interesting game of football. Amorim will not make a change at half time - why would he - when the system is working perfectly. Takes just a Hojlund sitter to put this tie to bed.
He’s very very raw but you’d have to be blind not to see Dorgu’s influence on this system (not so much the player but the profile of the player) .it bodes well for the system if we get better players.
First time this season I've seen us take the game to the opposition from the start and sustain attacks throughout the game. More of the same please, Ruben.
He has gotten us to start playing some proper football again in recent weeks.
I guess a few posters won't be showing up in this thread for a few days 
Our wing backs are getting into the box so often. Training the system is paying off
We looked very fecking good tonight.
Very good. Sack him.
Fantastic performance from the team. The players are playing for each other and seem bought in to Amorims style. Zirkzee was immense, Bruno clinical and Dorgu caused them problems all night. The kid was playing like a young Antonio Valencia.
Well well well
Dorgu makes his system work. He has fit in seamlessly.
WBs on their correct sides crucially + Maz RCB
That felt like a big step forward, now do it in the league.
Deserved to beat Arsenal despite the draw. Deserved to win tonight, with some great football on display. He's stopped the losing runs. Finally we look like we're making some real progress under him.
First sign of his system working. Give him time and the tools and we won't be long getting back to the top
It wasn't randomly though.
We keep persisting, pushing and training and we get better. That's how it's done.
Good managers don't change the system on every hurdle. Unlike some redcafe members seem to believe.
Credit when it’s due, we looked good tonight. A couple more clinical players and we can do some damage.
100%I guess a few posters won't be showing up in this thread for a few days
Since day one. My manager.
Someone last week was saying he useless
Good performance and a balance of it being functional over both halves.
I reckon we have been subtly improving since the Everton game. Pressing is much more effective, creating more quality chances. Some good signs. Lack of a reliable finisher has cost us big time.
Best performance under him so far, not sure the opposition were up to much but we were very good lots of attacking which is good to see
Excellent tonight (we were very good in the 1st leg as well). The kind of game at which you can point and say we're progressing which is the most important thing atm.
I guess a few posters won't be showing up in this thread for a few days
Definitely!
Am sure they will be back here right after a loss.
I so hope he's backed in the summer. Give him the players he wants and we will be fine.
The potential is there IF he gets the correct tools for the job.

Welcome to RedCafe. Where one day a player can be considered world class and completely shit on another day.
Played well today. We're so much better in the Europa league where we can physically compete and even out muscle teams. He said as much. I think it is clear what the common attribute of the players we will be targetting is likely to be. I just hope tecnhique is a close second.
Starting to see signs of things of coming together starting with the Ipswich game. Hopefully he will get a front 3 that he is happy with next season and things could start looking upwards.
