Hope so, fuck emThe arrogance of Slot to think "we came up with this tactic of McAllister nullifying Burn on corners, and we will stick to it no matter how many times he he gets beaten". Shocking from the manager.
Really hope they fuck up the league now, would be hilarious.
Except he made no attempt, was behind the man he was supposed to block and made no attempt to track the run.He's not there to win the header, he's there to block the run. The taller defenders are sat deeper to enable them to spot an attacking a run and gain a leap in order to defend a ball played into the edge of the six yard box. Almost every side playing professional football does the same. In general it works, not many corners lead to goals.
Because Mcallister makes no contact with him whatsoever, he totally gave him a free run. So then when tripier hits the perfect ball that the free centre half’s can’t defend it then becomes a huge problem. We were doing it at Coventry for example, Rigg was up against Wright.It was obvious it wasn’t working though, he looked a massive threat at every corner and mccalister barely blocked him once. It was insane someone else wasn’t put on him he was the main threat but that was down to someone four foot smaller and ten clem lighter was put on him to block him![]()
It’s tactical over thinking gone nuts. In what world can a ten stone five footer block a six foot plus 14-15 stone bloke? It’s mental.Because Mcallister makes no contact with him whatsoever, he totally gave him a free run.

But inevitably the ball goes in there to be competed for so blocking (or restricting) a run to attack a ball does not make that much of a difference to a dominant player attacking an aerial ball. Then there is the question of when it becomes an infringement, the lad "picking up" the scorer wasn't even looking at the ball.He's not there to win the header, he's there to block the run.

The more worrying thing about Saturday wasn't the lack of goals, the hat-trick or the bad defeat. It was that we could probably still sleepwalk ourselves into the play-offs where we will get mullered by Coventry (again!)Thought todays game was very similar to yesterdays shit show .
Liverpool and Sunderland both supposedly superior to the opposition but both outplayed , outfought and outclassed on the day . Both seemed to be totally out of sorts , both couldn’t string a pass together or create a decent opportunity and both looked to be running on empty.
I've never seen a team go through the motions in a cup final like that before. It was only the substitutes who showed any desire - it was an absolute shocker from Arne Slot.Ain’t watched much footy in the last couple of years, but Liverpool were shocking, looked like they ‘wanted’ to lose almost
They know he isn’t going to totally block him man. They just went a bit checking and contact so that he isn’t running like a steam train to head a ball from about 12 yards like yesterday. They are leaving their best headers free round the 6 year box to attack it . So Newcastle after hit their corners out of those areas so vvd etc can’t win it and then really if a burn wins it that far out it shouldn’t be a totally clean header. But when someone switches off and does not even look at burn it looks awful just like zonal looks awful when the attacking team scores as they look totally free.It’s tactical over thinking gone nuts. In what world can a ten stone five footer block a six foot plus 14-15 stone bloke? It’s mental.
Even he didn't look particularly interestedit was an absolute shocker from Arne Slot.
but nothing compared to assigning the smallest player in the team (5ft 9in) to mark the tallest in the opposition (6ft 7in) at set pieces.
Congratulations Mr Slot
