2 years and counting of "your" football have got is nowhere other than bored out of our minds.
UTB
My football is that of Brazil '70, the Arsenal Invincibles, the great Liverpool teams and modern day Barcelona and, let it be said, John Harris' Blades.. On a more realistic note for us, Swansea City. We have come nowhere near that in the last two years. Last season DW abandoned proper football and it was dire.
I realise you still yearn for the glory years of Blackwell but all good things come to an end and, sadly but inevitably, his unique talent has taken him on to bigger things.
For now you'll have to content yourself with those previous Wimbledon and Watford videos. Those were the days!
Pinchy. If that's what you want to see then stop being a Blade and become a Gooner because it will never happen at Bramall Lane.
You have to have decent players to use that system.
If you try to out football teams with sub standard players you will see only one result.
The reason it will never happen at SUFC is that we never build to succeed we just sell to survive.
Your ethos is commendable
The flimsy attempts the Blades make to emulate it are pathetic
You can only work with the talents you have and we never have any worth their salt so you should structure your play to reflect the limitations of those players at your disposal. Unfortunately ours aren't much more capable that fannying around with the ball, pretending they can play but when it actually needs some vision, skill, awareness, cunning, ability, courage, nouse, etc they all fall well short of what is required. No matter what philosophy Weir has he cannot play for them.
Your derision of those who are complaining is trite.
However it is dressed up people want a team that competes
A team to have some pride in
A team that inspires
A team that gives you hope
A team that puts a smile on your face
A team that overcomes adversity when the odds are stacked against us
Not a team that capitulates even when the odds are in our favour
A team that works their gnads off (all the best purist teams do that as well)
A team that excites
A team that deserves the support it has by birth right (let's face it you wouldn't choose to follow SUFC unless your are as mad as @bergen)
Having a few spotty youths and a group of never has beens pussying around with the ball in their own half, not having the ability to create anything is no ones idea of good entertaining football.
If there is no goalmouth action there is nothing.
There is no entertainment, no hope, no smiles, no satisfaction, no excitement.
I don't really care how they create it. They have just got to create it the best way they can within their clear and obvious limitations.
We are not here to watch them fail at something they simply aren't capable of doing.
I am fed up of telling myself that my Saturday was great until 15:00
That the beer was good and the company was good.
I can drink a fucking beer anytime
I just can't keep watching this shit and believe it is a path to better things.
