Talksport Debate At Minute

Good debate on talksport at the minute, some coaching guy is on the Brazil decrying the lack of technical skills in UK players. Cites that reason as to why the english 18- 23 year old are not playing for their first teams and that there are foreigners in their places, and putting them in a B league will not fix this.

 

Nail on head.

If a team full of technically gifted but small players lose week in, week out, what benefit does that give them?

 

Won't they lose interest?

 

Surely the problem there is not technical ability, it's size.

They should give all our kids that serum El Macho gives the minions in Despicable me 2 and turn them all into wrecking machines

Tango and M&Ms?

They should give all our kids that serum El Macho Pep Guardiola gives the minions gave the small players in Despicable me 2 at Barcelona and turn them all into wrecking machines

Homer, point is that over time, those smaller kids will become better, as they are getting the game-time to grow, and this will hopefully become more common, rather than 'give it the big lad'.

They won't lose week in week out but they can get beat by technically weaker players who are physically stronger but believe it or not kids are not that bothered about losing 2 minutes after losing a game there laughing and joking not in the slightest worried while us coaches are pissed off all weekend. :)

What team do you manage Mounts ??

Good set up there.

 

Are they still looking at building a small stadium/stand?

They've got a little stand, think floodlights is next move because they can't go any further up the ladder without them.

Are you at the tourny on sunday at Euxton ??

Apparently Luke Shaw got released from Arsenals academy and then passed up by Chelsea and Fulham because he was too small. Don't know if that's true or fairytale but it adds strength to Mounts argument. Southampton profitted by having a different outlook and great set up

cant be arsed going into it now, but i do not believe the technical ability is the problem. i think its an excuse that raises its head every couple of years.

 

there are plenty of technically gifted english players around.

 

as there are plenty of technically shite foreigners.

 

there is more to the great game than fucking dancing around a fucking football

 

 

Sorry Homer but will have to disagree entirely with you.

 

Have you ever pondered why any UK international team cannot keep the ball for more than 30 seconds in a big game? Its because they cannot trap, pass or move properly. I have been watching our national team fail because of this for over 40 years.

Are they the higher standard team in the area ??

 

My lads team are in that tourny, Moss Bank White Socks. Beltin little side.

They've got a little stand

You probably look like you got one yourself in those cycling shorts!

Euxton Villa fielding 2 sides would imagine one would be there best team and there very good the other will the one my lad is playing in no doubt.

 

WTF is the quote option not working? 

Will look out for the white sox Pablo.

Not sure of the full format yet, but gather we will see loads of teams from around Lancs.

 

Hope weather holds up. How are the pitches ??

 

We play in a very fetching bright green. You may know the coaches.
