Playing one touch triangles seems to be the thing of modern football... yet we rarely do that. Leeds played it all the time with ease and we were chasing the ball like dogs do. I wonder why we keep ignoring the trend?

As a kid at school, I always wanted one of the drums. I would have been good on the drum, I know I would, I always got a sodding triangle though!

That’ll just add to the clusterfuck we already have if we start doing that.
Square pegs in round holes playing triangles.

It’s not a new trend. 15 years ago when I was a youth player I was coached to know where the ball was going before it got played to me. I can’t imagine professional football players aren’t told the same. We’re just not very good at it.

Sounds a bit too complicated atm. Pass to another available member of your team and if you have a choice choose the forward one is about as much as we can hope for right now.
Next you’ll be asking them to score and defend 😂

I watched a under 10s youth team in France last month.
Last 10 mins was always 3 v 3.
If you didn’t pass and trap it was a foul unless it was the final shot on goal.

Nothing changes... |

They couldn't be trusted to not lose the nail thingy that you hit the triangle with. |

Well, we probably would play it too slowly anyway.. lets just keep 'em direct and long and hope for the best, it has got us so far anyway |

I noticed it last season. Quick fire passes in small triangles with runners - what we did at school in the 70's. These modern tactics - they leave me behind?

Our players would have no chance playing two touch never mind mind one touch triangles.
Those days are long gone for us.

I wanted to play the trumpet but got told I was too small so I ended up with a violin  I fucking hated that thing, I imagine the neighbours hated it as well. |

Leeds played quick, incisive passing, moving towards the ball to receive it and controlling it with one touch or laying it off instantly and accurately to team-mate, whether in a triangle or when moving forward with it.
Our players often receive the ball at waist height whilst standing still, and struggle to control it. As they are static, they are easy to close down and consequently either lose possession easily or have to sprint from a standing start.
Training tomorrow should consist of watching the full video of yesterday’s game, preferably several times, so that our players can watch carefully and see how it should be done.
They can also pick up some tips on how to find space to receive a pass, and how to pass to a player who has actually found such space!

If you listen to Nj's comments in the press, he is into... Shape and structure and prep
He is not into the stuff leeds / derby / Preston do
He has got his own way of doing things
Which is Sh#t

Verlinden always takes the ball on the half turn and his half way past his man with his first touch. It's a joy to watch Which probably means he will sold to come good elsewhere I can't see the lad getting a game at Stoke, just because he instinctively seems to know what to do |

As the OP states, one touch football- the majority of our team need at least 2 touches ( most need 3) to bring the ball under control. Nobody can run with the ball, Etebo will beat two and lose it to the 3rd as the ball gets progressively further out of his control.
Would it hurt to find a way to get Verlinden into the team?
He does have the ability to beat a man and does put a cross in.
Given the fact that none of Jones’ starters seem able to play the “Diamond”, how could it hurt?

I often wonder to myself how these players functioned in other teams as as a collective group they look as though they have won a raffle to play professional football. I can only conclude that we have a assembled a team of absolute morons. Maybe you can carry one or two in a team and the collective intelligence of the other players (running off the ball, tracking back, moving into space etc) created the time and space for these morons to have time and space to not think too much and look positively good. We have assembled a team with a collective footballing brain similar to an under 11 team. |
