Over used football clichés

[jesusmcmuffin]

Here's a few

Lost the dressing room
When football was football
Bang average
Proper football
Imagine players today on those pitches
The club is toxic


Any more for more you crazy cats. ...

Must win game

There or there abouts
Played within ourselves

I forgot the classic


They'll be up for it

[stokiejoe]

Over the moon, it's a game of two halves

We go again

"Torrid time". Only ever spoken of about a fullback who has had a poor game against a winger.

A central defender never has a torrid time against a striker. A goalkeeper doesn't have a torrid fixture if they concede three or four goals. But fullbacks are given a torrid time by wingers on a surprisingly regular basis.

Managers After a hammering …."We can take many positives from that" & "We're not quite there yet, but we're getting closer"

“In and around”

It works fine for “in and around the box” but gets used in circumstances that the in part really shouldn’t be.

“He had two defenders in and around him all match long”.

This:

"Lacking that extra bit of quality in the final third ..."

has got to be right up there surely?

Crikey yep

I say that most games 😁

Fox in the box
Stand up and be counted

I must confess though amd not a cliche but the taking of a player and regionallise them gets my goat
Yorkshire Pirlo
Alpine Messi
Welsh ( was it Zidane)?

Maybe a new thread for that op

Game of 2 half's.

Manager after losses in October "It's still early days yet"....

surely these players need time to gel though

[thepottypotter]

It’s a game of two halves
It’s squeaky bum time

[innocentbystander]

"That's just the start they wouldn't have wanted"

No shit...

[marcofstoke]

“We hope to get a result”
This one does my head in….. unless the game is called off you will get a result, it might not be one you like but you’ll get one!

"He knows what he's trying to do there."

Hinchcliffe classic

[sportsman]

High press - chase after the ball

Low block - park the bus

Play through the lines - pass the ball up the pitch

Transition - hit the buggers on the break

[cheadlepotter]

"They wanted it more"

[jesusmcmuffin]

In front of the Kop


Does it matter ?

[march4]

Tuesday night in Stoke

[J-Roar]

Goals are irrelevant

[flash]

Can they do it on a cold, wet Tuesday night in Stoke?

2-0 is a dangerous score line.

There are no easy games at this level

We need to get back to basics.

Anyone calling any home end the kop. It's a bit weird. It's just copying Liverpool's name for their home end, which in full is Spion Kop, which is a mountain in South Africa that it was named after.
