This man, seriously..he needs to start just kicking the ball to nowhere instead of trying to ballplay with Bon and Chiello with strikers smelling the brainfarts.
And it was very cool to see 2 champions like Toni and Gigi battling it out :toast:. It always bring a smile to my face to see players like them still performing. Players like them, totti, barzagli, cannavaro, Gilardino, del piero are like the last vestiges of that glorious generation of 2006. Legends.
I'd really rather we just put it out for a throw-in
I don't and never will see the fascination with constantly passing between your goalkeeper and CBs in the presence of attackers. The risk is extremely high and the reward is.... you bypass their forwards and keep hold of the ball. Something that can be done with much, much less risk by punting the ball in the general vicinity of Pogba or Llorente.
It's fine when the opposition aren't pressing, and you have all the time in the world to play from the back. But some strikers live for these opportunities, and one bit of mis-control, one over/underhit pass or one slip and we're f*cked.
