    False 9? I despair, who comes up with these new names for positions? I don’t know whether I dreamt it but I’m sure our manager mentioned something about playing two number 8s the other week. Why complicate a simple game?

    It’s when you put a non striker as centre forward and he drops into the hole pulling their centre half’s out of position and you get runners / wingers in behind him.

    The sort of tactic Man City or Liverpool might employ to pull teams out of their defensive position but **** me we’ve only just learned to pass to each other one step at a time

    Messi was the original false 9. It’s become a bit trendier last few years as deployed by both City and Liverpool. I don’t think it will catch on at championship level.

    Re: CARDIFF CITY v PORTSMOUTH. Match thread

    Is McGuinness now 6th choice centre back - after Ng, Kipre, Nelson, Denham and now Simpson?

    He was indifferent at the end of last season with a few big errors, but for a player with his background and McCarthy making very big claims for him when he signed, he is reversing out of the first team picture quickly. Hopefully he gets the chance to turn it around and quickly. Given his age and pedigree I was hoping he would be a fixture for a decade or more. He needs to be playing - somewhere.

    Cheers I'm guessing that you have to be some player to play that role.

    I see Marlon Pack is back. He'll probably score the winner knowing our luck.

    It has to be the type of player who you'd love to get in the building, someone who understands the football club and buys into the project, much like all of our signings

    Hardly the original.
    Don Revie (England international) was the original deep-lying centre forward.
    An encyclopaedic knowledge of football includes having an eye on the past.

    Didn’t Nandor Hidegkuti, the great Hungarian, precede Revie as a deep lying centre forward ?

    You need the players to be skillful and disciplined, and a determined manager to instill that discipline on the whole team. Dont think weve got either to play it consistently.
    Foden was pretty good in the role last season.

    It's a tie I reckon.
    Both played the position in the mid-1950s.
    Revie was the man for me. I saw him play in that role.
    I only saw the Hungarians play in grainy newsreels.

    The BBC match page was down for 25 minutes (Minute 7 to 32).

    Cardiff shots are well into double figures.

    0-1

    Goal. Nelson with a poor pass to Campbell and Pompey intercept high up the pitch. The ball is played to Pigott and he bundles the ball into the bottom corner.

    0-1
