I saw on the latest match-day thread some bringing up the age old and extremely weak argument of making backward passes - as if this is some proof of a team not playing well, slowing it down or being negative.
Would anyone really argue this wasn't one of our best goals scored in recent seasons or even ever?!??
Patience, probing, possession, precision

Privilege to have you back sir.
You are spot on. These passes that seem negative to many are actually incredibly attacking, they are laying the ground work for future paths to goal by pulling defenders out of their positions bit by bit.
It’s like setting up a checkmate in chess 12 moves ahead of the opposition. Incredible to watch when you understand what is going on. |
Lol, bueno. “Quotes”, chap?
My word, that is some 180, eh?
Transparently a troll, no other explanation for why this would apply then, and not apply now. Re-read the OP and your response. You can say whatever you want, but your own words, your “quotes”, deceive you.
You are no Swans fan, you’re clearly just a troll. This is the reality.
“Checkmate”.

What are you referring to here then, troll?
So you have gone back a year to dig up a post on me saying I like effective passing football?
You didn’t need to go back that far, I said it last week.
Lol Bueno. |  |

Nah, kid.
You like “results” above all else, and all that.
You have pushed daily, endlessly, for us to play “pragmatic” and now “direct”.
You’re transparently a troll, your “quotes” deceive you. | | | |

Oh yes child, I love results.
If we can get results in an attractive way, then that is the holy grail.
I have pushed the fact that THIS TEAM should be more pragmatic and play a mixed style of short and long passes with a direct attacking approach, simply because it suits them the best.
Under Coopers team, I was absolutely content with his game plan as it suited the players we had, which were limited technically.
Under Laudrup and Brendan we played to our strengths with tiki taka. As it was to our strengths we benefited from that and coincided it with results. It’s about maximising your chances of winning playing the best style that suits, for a long time that was a passing game.
Right now it appears a mixed game would suit us best, which is proven by the Luton and Bristol City game (two games people have singled out for praise) having our most long balls this season.
If that upsets you troll, then you will just have to live with it I guess. | |

Lol, nah, yet another massive fail.
No surprise there.
Nice attempt, though, a lot of words and stuff. | | | |

The word was that he sadly passed away.
He would be in his element with some of our newer contributors. 
One of my all time favourite posters and is sadly missed. | |

Many would rather see a player trying to shoot through a solid wall of legs with no hope of anything bar giving away possession.
There is a huge difference between village and professional football that bypasses some. |  |

'Rock' is the new username of that old Nirvana troll. Remember the one that used to love that player from Spain, Jonathan Vieira?
Well he is back and this unfortunately is the sort of stuff he does on his bi weekly late night binges when they switch his internet on.
Tried to make a point by bumping a thread from last year, without realising he didn't have one to make. | |
