A Good Footballing Philosophy goes a long way

Post by Wengerball »

I saw this fantastic article in the Telegraph- its an interview with Brendan Rodgers taken from before Swanseas game with us. He talks a hell of a lot of good sense and you can see his ideas being carried out on the pitch- no PR Bullshit, just good tactical sense.

In the end yesterdays result goes a long way to showing the significance of good tactical management and a solid progressive philosophy.

He talks about pressure off the ball as being a key part of the game and this is where I feel we fall down. They had the desire to close us down and you could contrast that with Arshavin who couldnt be arsed to track back.

(This is not a direct Anti-Wenger thread, just an appreciation of what good training and organisation can do even on a small budget.)

The passing game or tippy tappy football is so 2003/4, long balls hoofed forward are the future :wink: Swansea play good football, maybe we have a contender for Wengers eventual replacement.
