King Jela 20,361 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Aye cos Messi is shite isn't he... Fucking hate this 'too wee' argumentThat was exactly the point of the thread, to criticise Messi.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hardie is big enough, he needs to bulk out though a la waghorn. People talking about messi or big lumps of player are missing the point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyali 248 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Having read some literature by a German doctor who helped the German FA write their football policy, he wrote that the three most important things to develop in footballers was mentality, technical skills and physical ability. British clubs produce many players with on point technical skills but very few with the mentality. Like Lundstram, Tunnicliffe etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP FC 400 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Law is English and oduwa and zelalem are teenagers...Bit pedantic, he has been in scottish football long enough to develop poor habits was my point.as for the other two, they will never be built like tanks.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Interesting topiv. This is not along ethnic lines but I wtched Hearts bully the Sheep yesterday in every department. In this instance, they appeared noT only much stronger but we're always quicker to the ball.This is an area where we need to develop as we are often too easily pushed off the ball.

BUILDMYGALLOWS1986 413 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Those two taigs at Wednesday are only small but are brilliant at the minute Bannan and WallaceWallace is a great wee player Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillete 1,338 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 To make it at elite level you need to be highly technically gifted or a real athlete Even better if your both The guys like Silva for city , Modric etc will always come throughSadly in Scotland , we don't bring through players anywhere near that level of player technically Don't ask me why.So to succeed in Scotland and get a move down south , you have to really work on your physical appearance and athleticism Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyRice1872 105 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Maybe it's just easier for English players to be tanks when they're all on mega money.Hearts RB Callum Patterson who is about 21/22 is a bit of a tank. I would agree we could do with more players with the physicality of Waghorn, Tavernier & Kiernan in Scottish foosball because it's a bit boring watching prem teams on Sportscene when Josh Magennis is like the most physical striker in the premiership and most players aren't built and it doesn't help competition levels..It's not all black and white of course. I think Holt and McKay are great and think players like them shouldn't have too much muscle but a lot of players in prem are beanpoles Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingObv 10,642 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 What percentage of SPL players could squat double their bodyweight? How many have a 30 inch vertical. Not many id imagine.S&C in football in general is a long way behind some sports. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderbear 150 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Simple answer they eat and recover right which allows them to do more weights as well as the running/ skills etc I used to live near Arsenals training ground in Hertfordshire and met a former Ireland rugby player in Sainsburys there. He was Arsenals Strength coach at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
