Just watching them dismantle Newcastle at home with some exquisite football, the kind I imagine DW is trying to implement the only difference being they are earning the right to play by winning the battles in every position on the park. Possession, tippy tappy football is alright but at any level you need to do the ugly stuff first, another glaring fact that DW doesn't acknowledge in his deluded post-match assessments.

It is important that you get a good lead at first and then we can play tippy tappy football after that making it harder for the opposition to get the ball off us, the opposition's defence would be forced to play at a higher line giving us more space up front to exploit. I hate it when we play tippy tappy football from the start, not getting a goal for a long time and then if the opposition score, it leaves us little time to change formation

We've taken the lead in 5 of our last 21 games. We only managed to win 3 of them (I count winning on penalties as a draw - we didn't take the lead in that game anyway)

Absolutely bloody pathetic.

I agree with what you say.

Everton -Premier League players. Us - third division players. That's the difference.

Good news then - we should stay up.

Their 3rd goal was proper hoof!!!

Newcastle premiership team. ,Preston,wolves and Carlisle third tier shit no difference.

 

[Jehovah]

We do not aggressively try to win the ball back from the opposition. This is something I believe Carsley said we would be trying to do when he came in. We look a physically weak team to me. I watched Kmac against Atromotis in the pre-season friendly and he was the only one who they could not get the ball off while using his strength to sheild the ball.

If you watched Sunderland v Liverpool yesterday, Sunderland closed Liverpool down really quickly. Fair enough, they lost, but to a team with technically better players who had to earn it. Teams just seem to waltz through us.

Oh, a large number of the hard of thinking, of course. More amoebae than all other clubs put together.

They refer to pass and move football contemptuously as "tippy tappy", whilst yearning for the return of a has-been manager nobody else even thinks of. They admire survivors Stoke but not table-topping Arsenal or trophy-winning Swansea. They prefer to watch old videos of Wimbledon or Watford.

They assert, somehow without breaking into fits of uncontrollable laughter, that clueless, shadow-chasing, non-footballer Nick Montgomery was one of our best players of the last two decades. Not only that, they actually publish such views for the amusement of observers, whilst the rest of us sit in the corner in silent embarrassment.

When we have a managerial vacancy, they argue the case for nonenties, no-hopers, numpties and non-achievers; Nobodies who have no merit and have achieved little or nothing, for no other reason but that they once wore a Blades badge.

They are unable to see beyond the ends of their noses and are unaware of a world beyond S2. Bladey, Bladey lovers of mediocrity,

By their words shall ye know them:

Kick it Long; Kick it Hard; Kick it High. Gerritintbox!

It's the Bladesfans' Way.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Everton won with pace & power - not tippy tappy, sideways passing at a pedestrian pace. 2 of their 3 goals were quite direct.

If it wins games - and promotion to championship - then me. I go for tippy tappy when we're in the prem!

Another day, another opportunity (grasped) for Pinchy to completely miss the point.

At least Beighton Blades repeated bollocks in a humorous way.

You find that comforting don't you?

You must have missed the repeated references in the commentary to their new passing style?

Martinez a proponent of Hoof? Risible, abject nonsense.

Deano is contrasting what Everton do with what we are doing. It really doesn't have to come down to a two way fight of hoof V tiptap.

Say what you want. Be as insulting as you like without ever putting forward any constructive view. The inescapable facts are that playing the way we are doing has dumped us at the bottom of the third division with one solitary win, a whole 5 goals in 9 matches, no cleans sheets, and our worst ever losing streak outside the top two divisions. Added to which we have also played two fourth division sides in cup competitions, failed to beat either and even managed to lose to one of them at home.

Mediocrity is way above us at the moment.

Maybe all this makes you proud. Congratulations.

No, he's trying to square a circle; turn chalk into cheese. Martinez is an architect and advocate of proper football. Everton will be infinitely more attractive and entertaining under him and, guess what, they'll win football matches.

You hoofers should have more integrity and courage in your convictions than this absurd attempt to turn fine wine into charmless lager. Take pride in your Bassetts and Pulis's and John Becks. Don't try to claim proper football people. It makes you look silly. So does referring to the art of pass and move, practised by the finest footballers and the greatest teams of all time, by a phrase more suited to Fred Astaire.

The We Hoof Brigade are embarrassing our club, just as your guru Dinosaur Dave did recently. Please stop it.

You can't distinguish between a whole array of posters who see football in a variety of ways. You can't take your childish and brainless spectacles off for long enough to realise how stupid you sound.

The only constant is the forum consensus that you've turned into a comedy act.

While you only embarrass yourself. Oh please stop it.

 

[Sheff de party]

I'm not taking sides here, but anyone who thinks we're capable of playing tippy tappy, tikka takka, one touch or whatever you want to call it while we have Michael Doyle in midfield is dreaming.

Me....if we attack,excite,score goals and win games!

 

[stannyblade]

I want exciting football that creates lots of chances. How we get there doesn't bother me. You can't tell me the way we are playing at the moment is exciting

 

[brownie4583]

Dave Bassett's team did not just hoof the ball 50 and 60 yards all the time,probably most of the goals came from crosses by Bryson,Roberts,Bradshaw etc they battled when they had to,played it long sometimes,excited the fans,scored plenty of goals and won games!
I for one was excited to go to the game,and fancied us to beat anyone,that is not the case now.

And as the Titanic went down to the Stygian depths, the band continued playing. The music was wonderful, but still the mighty colossus was laid low by the vanity of a few. "Bugger getting in one of those nasty overcrowded old-fashioned lifeboats" said a voice. "We're far better off here listening to the band play such fine music. I believe this one is by that wonderful Celine Dion." A reply came from the crowd "Fuck off. I'm not listening to that scrawny harridan. She looks like some kind of mad vulture woman. I'll take my chances. Are there any sharks?"

And the music was wonderful, right up until the ship sank. Then the music stopped, and no amount of caterwauling and Las Vegas residencies from stringy Canadian chanteuses could bring it back up. Not even that bloke who did a film about it could raise the once mighty ship, so he went and did a film about very tall space Smurfs instead.

At the moment tippy-tappy is getting close to sinky-sinky. Still, it'll look nice as we plummet to division four. What we need is winny-winny. We're both not far away and, at the very same time, millions of miles away from winny-winny, but losey-losey seems to be doing okay.

That must mean that I love hoof, and stickleback sandwiches, and aliens, and other ridiculous conclusions from any number of halfwits who believe that if you don't agree entirely with them then you disagree completely, regardless of what you might have said in the past.
