Wish Leeds can make a bigger push for promotion. Premier League needs more hype and rivalries (thought the football side of this season has been much closer).

True that Zeo. I miss Leeds being in the top flight, i don't think they have much chance this season though. However if the take over goes through (which it has right?) they keep McDermott and give him some Cash $£$£$£ then i see them pushing easily for promotion.

They need to keep McCormack. There's a good chance he will be playing in the EPL next season with or without Leeds.
For what its worth, i hope they never get promoted. The Permier League has enough dirty cheating scum already IMO.

Total football is the ultimate and most beautiful form of football imo.
Barca, now Pep's bayern, sacchi's incredible milan, cruyff's ajax all were the most dominant and awesome teams of their times. I think it's proven already that the team's skill ceiling is total football.
What do you guys think?

"I have a team, but no striker," Canal Plus claim the Chelsea manager said. "Falcao does not have a team. A player like him can't play in front of 3,000 people. Monaco is a club to end [your career with]."

Also his interview would of been done in English and translated into French to then be translated back into English so might be a few words and phrases that were not properly said in these kind of interviews xD

I wonder who Chelsea sign in the summer though i wouldn't mind any of the ones mentioned so far. (Cavani Falcao Costa)

Tiki-taka is based on but not exactly the same as Total Football though...Total football took the world by storm, as did tiki-taka (with FCB and Spain in the last part of the noughties until now, but the world then adapts to them and develops counter-strategies. I hope there is not clear superior way of playing the game, as it would make it rather boring. Imagine every team playing tiki-taka? Yikes.

They say if every player on every position on the field for both teams played perfect football every match would finish 0:0

Also, statistical analysis changed the ceiling in Baseball. Statistics + player tracking is starting to change basketball. Football is different as computers still have a difficult time analyzing the video and deciphering what is happening at each moment in the game but that will change soon. I believe the ceiling will be blown apart by teams who start using new data to evolve on tactics, training and recruitment. Large teams who will have the money to invest in software and cameras on their stadiums will start to have yet another large advantage over smaller ones.

Well focusing on players fitness levels is clearly enough. Some teams look physically stronger and there are players who are more effective vs tired ones obviously. I always use Ramires as the example due to his outstanding levels of fitness and his pace. After about the 60th minute he runs passed anyone on the pitch for fun and is worth his weight in gold for that alone. Let alone his random sparks of Brazilian finishing/skills XD
He also has stupidly good pace to beat most players with anyway let alone when they are tired.

I'm very close with a company who worked with a top Premier League team back in 2004-05 in player tracking and statistics. If I recall, it'd measure for instance the speeds of each player during the match, detect if players were becoming fatigued, analyse for speed/agility mismatches eg. between fullbacks and wingers. It was analysed in real time on a tablet by an assistant in the stands and passed on to the manager in the pitch. At the time it was credited with identifying opportunities which actually led to several goals. That was almost 10 years ago, so I imagine these technologies have evolved a lot.

Luckely the type of player you need to play like this on the highest level is rare.

Also this gif shows the main thing of tiki taka and the reason why Bayern(Barca) is so dominant right now: If you look away from the ball there are around 15 to 20 triangles with perfect spacing in this 5 second sequence. And this at a 4-0 score in a relative meaningless game.

Really? I thought the opposite was the case since defenders can only react to attackers thus the perfect play would result in tons of goals.

That's just disrespectful. Good luck for him negociating with Monaco now. Sad thing is he probably knows everything about Monaco's history (7 times L1 champions, 2 ECL semi finals and 1 final). All of it without an audience

Let's see if they can buy fans, like chelsea did

That wasn't his point. Your playing in front of 3000 fans each week which is true? They have a tiny stadium they cannot even fill. They are only back into Ligue 1 due to the owners buying them
