These formations are getting more and more complicated. How about playing 1-10 and try and score one more than the opposition.

It’s getting ridiculous isn’t it, managers, coaches and fans are disappearing up their own arses with all this complicating of a simple game, Christ knows what the baffled players are thinking........even you are advocating a new revolutionary tactic of playing with 10 men

How much spontaneity is there left in the game? What sort of feedback would a player who tried something off the cuff which failed get from his manager and coaches? I was really shocked to learn about twenty years ago that a player like Marc Overmars (ie a dribbler) had been ordered to take no more than three touches of the ball after he received it by Van Gaal when he was at Ajax
