Roy's football is to get the ball forward as quickly as possible, with quick passing and movement. This is not the way De Boer plays, he's much more into patient, possession football....

Fair point. I guess I was really thinking that we passed the ball because without Benteke we had to stop hoofing it. Arthur Rowe also used to preach pass and move back in the day which goes to show that despite all of the modern s***e the facts still remain. Pass to your own player. Move when you have passed that ball. Score goals. Don't let any goals in. You can have however many permutations within the eleven men on the field but the above sort of works!

I think we all agree (whatever our feelings on WH) that he needs a period out of the first team and Jules deserves a chance to restake a claim. Otherwise whats the point in even being in the squad?

Originally posted by coulsdoneagle Where does RLC come in next week, bench or instead of Jimmy? It's an interesting one, the team has done so well but RLC is so good on the ball it's hard to look past him. Schlupp makes way, I think. RLC can play in that same roving role behind Wilf and Andros, and will be better at it, I think (nothing against Jeffrey, but Ruben is better). That'll give the Geordies something to think about! We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Originally posted by FairweatherEagle Why didn't we see any of that one touch passing when Frank was in charge? Admittedly we were ok against Burnley, but there still was no one touch passing that I recall in any of his games. FWIW I hope Roy perseveres with it. you honestly cant say burnley was 'ok' ...granted the result sucked monkey balls but the way we played was mesmerizing. Was wonderful to watch.

We absolutely battered them for 90 minutes. At their place. Burnley are 7th. Another interesting tidbit: in our first season back in the Prem, under Holloway, we picked up 3 points from the first 10 games (a home win vs. Sunderland). We finished 11th... We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.
