This really isn't being highlighted enough. Part of me suspects this is a trap, because you can't distil American Arsenal fans into a more pure form.

Hi there, former NUFC fan-turned-Hammer here! Sissoko is a turd of the highest order. Coasted in 2nd gear through 90% of games with Newcastle, and decided to try when he got to the Euros. You can’t pin relegation on a single guy but he was absolutely part of the problem. Everton might be pissed, but they dodged a bullet here. Sissoko will show up in Champions League (if he’s even named to the lineup) but can’t be bothered to give a poo poo when playing the lower half of the table. Spurs just pissed 30M down the toilet for a guy who proclaimed earlier in the summer that “Arsenal is the club of my heart!”

Also - earlier in the summer I had been talking with some friends about what a great insult “fuckboy” is. One of my friends didn’t get it, so when the “Arsenal is the club of my heart” headline came out I used that as an example for what fuckboy is and it finally clicked for him.

This guy sucks.

But I think those are eyes...
(source)
He's the man who singlehandedly rekindled my love for the game one warm summer night not long after I got stationed in Germany. I'm a full-blooded yank, but my family came here from Germany (ironically not far from where I lived there) and I have an extremely German surname so I felt a kind of weird kinship with him since he has an even more German-sounding surname than mine. Once I saw his passion for the game I was an instant fan. He's a throwback... a mans-man, a fans-man, a leader, and a role model. When you watch Messi you're taken aback by the beauty of his skill, when you watch Ronaldo you're taken aback by the power and effort in his game, but when you watch Schweinsteiger what stands out isn't necessarily his skill, his shot, his footwork... all of those are far from average, but what really makes him special is the way he carries himself.. the look in his eye. When he scored that goal in the Euros a few months ago it was like watching an old dog chasing his ball across the yard, sure the legs don't move as fast as they used to... but the look in his eye, that razor-sharp focus on his goal... that never changes. I never had a doubt in my mind he was going to bury that chance. Thanks for everything Basti.

You could clone 11 messi's & 4-2-3-1 sill wont be effective against a mid to high block or a man to man agressive press in the high or deep zones.You seem to misunderstand.The problem is spacing & connectivity. To explain that i'd have to explain about column theory & horizontal accessibility+ the no of immediate passing options.

Even if you lack technically gifted players in the midfield , it is still possible to control the game by instructing the CB to pass 2 layers ahead instead of 1 && most importantly maintaing a high block height.

Total football is the logical conclusion of a geometrical analysis of the football field particularly because of its rectangular shape. Specific details like block height, the final phase of attack & tempo are matters of personal preference.E.g Guardiola likes tempo variation ranging from 0-100mph wheras Sarri prefers 30-90mph but they both follow the same geometrical model of columns & extremely small distances between layers.

I mean jesus he had one of the longest hattrick streaks in football. 11 Messis would have absolutely no use for a goalkeeper because they're scoring every move anyway.

He's not even being particularly original there, there's a ten-year "wingers/no wingers" cycle that's been going on at least since 1966. Come to think of it Charles Reep and Charles Hughes were using Advanced Statistical Analysis to prove that you should knock it into the mixer in the 50s.
