Dutch footballing philosophy

Hearing Aribo talking about defending and attacking AS A TEAM is simple and obvious but absolutely spot on. Read Cryuff’s book My Turn and he states simply “when you have the ball make the pitch big, when you don’t make the pitch small, lots of that evident today, great to see Kent hugging the touch line and midfielders getting beyond the strikers. He’s only in the door but you  can see it’s GVBs team now not that Scouser we used to have.

That first goal 100% doesn’t happen under Gerrard.

Aribo makes the early run, Kent goes to the touchline and crosses, Fashion quickly recycles instead of going back out to Tav.

Spot on. How many times were borna and Tav crossing today? Under Gerrard that’s all we did, ping it about outside the box then outside for a cross to no cunt in the middle.

Kent is now a winger playing as a winger

Bang on it had become so predictable and easy to counter. Also like us prepared to go long when we’re under the cosh.

That fuckin turn today, defender didn’t know if he needed a shite a shower or a shave.

I think in general the Dutch Philosophy is undoubtedly one that can work pretty much universally. 

Even when you watch the "Smaller" teams, say Herenveen, Utrecht, Twente, Waalwijk whatever, there's a style and belief that's ultimately started at schoolboy level.

Parents are not allowed to stand on the sidelines shouting, kids are there to listen to coaches and a lot of ex pros are involved in youth coaching.

Yep.  Kent would have played it wide to an overlapping Borna who would have swung a ball into nobody with hearts having men back.  I loved last season but we had become a bit predictable.

Entertaining although it is only afterwards that you can appreciate it.
