Weirdness Abounds (or the Idrissa Gana Gueye Thread)


Recommended Posts

My perfect midfield would be a completely interchangeable and dynamic 3. All can defend, all can pass, all can be in the right place at the right time. Would love a trio that could form a partnership where they're all on the same level and just 'know' when to do their roles.

ACM/DCM does my fucking head in. What's wrong with just being a midfielder?

 

Players like Kroos and Alonso can do everything, why pigeon hole them? Keane, Vieira, could do the lot. Why be one or the other unless your game is limited?

Because that's the modern game. Rafa was fired because he played 3 creative attacking mids in their midfield and their defense was getting hammered. They had no DCM, the press, pundits, other teams were roasting them alive because Kroos and the like cannot defend.

 

Once zidane was put in the first thing he did was put Casemiro in and boom, they started defending well and having clean sheets because he benched James to have a DCM.

Forget the position, I just hate the fucking name. It's the FIFA generation, ten years ago there was players who would sit in the midfield and put tackles in and sit deep. They used to be called a midfielder. Now you have to be a DCM or and ACM. It's just nonsense. No one uses to call Scholes an ACM. The same as playing 4231, it's no different from 433, but now everything has names that are just crap from computer games.

To be honest, I use the terminology to better describe the type of player I mean. Striker/midfielder/defender tags are just too generic since there's lots of variations on each position. You've even got sweeper 'keeper now too ffs! :lol:

This is why I use it. But the doesn't mean I agree with it (the terms used).

Got to disagree with you there mate. You've got players in different positions that do different jobs. Some are ball winners, some are deep playmakers or even "half backs" . The games changed since every player was a box to box midfielder because the focus is with players strengths. If that's good or bad for the game who knows, maybe Barkley would have been a better player if he trained to be a box to box player younger, but look at a modern number 10, you want them primarily to attack not uselessly defend.

 

Maybe you're old school!

Half backs!!!

 

I'm done!!

 

Four four fucking two

 

I get your point by the way Aiden, I agree about players who specialise being needed very much so. But all the bullshit names and terms that have come into the game, it's all bollocks. Just people along the line making the simple sound complicated so they look smart and it's caught on and been pushed further and further by computer games.

 

Looking forward to seeing Gana in midfield. Hopefully he'll show us some positives.

Come on, guys. I learned this stuff playing for my primary school team.

 

1: goalkeeper

2: right fullback

3: left fullback

4: right half

5: centre half

6: left half

7: right wing

8: inside right

9: centre forward

10: inside left

11: left wing

 

I have no idea what all these acronyms, or numbers higher than 11, mean. Did a search for DCM and it provided a list of Democrat Committee Members - all number 11s.

Obviously a rocket scientist here.

Makes something simple, look so so simple!

I remember those days Steve. the big hobnail boots with the neiled on studs and the huge toecap (Ideal for kneecapping the opposition) and the dubbin that was put on the casey before the game.... but was useless after 5 minutes. Made the casey more like a medicine ball when it was wet. Wonder if anyone will try the old formations again? can't be many managers around who would remember how to play against 5 forward players. lol :rofl:
