Quit The Tiki Taka and Get Back To Row Z

                                            Image result for tiki taka
Tiki taka football the term where its means short passing and fluid movement which means extravagant football. As a football purist I love it when this type of football is executed well like an apple in a pigs mouth. But when it's not, stupid and comical goals are conceded like you saw in the Chelsea and Man U game last night and Josh Stones giving away the Southampton's goal yesterday. Pep is adamant that his defense and keeper play it from the back, but if you don't have ball playing defense it'll never work like you saw the disaster that happened as the football great went back to the Nou Camp, his old stomping ground earlier last week. As a defender my self I can not play the ball from the back for crap, that's why I hoof the ball to the gates of heaven. Managers are putting too much emphasis of playing beautiful football instead playing ugly to save their skins. This is one thing where Guardiola is struggling the English league is not a walk in the park like the Spanish or German league is, you don't have much time on the ball to be doing passa passa football. My stance is footballers should go back to the old school ways and clear it!!!!!!!

What Next For Wenger?

What eulogy do you give one of the best managers of all time, that every publication, pundit and anyone connected with Arsenal have given him? Yes I've been on his back and I'm in #TeamWengerOut and always be, in recent years since I started this blog. But even me a very pessimistic Arsenal fan has to give The Professor his dues he's changed Arsenal from an ordinary & underachieving English football team, to a household name around the world, he's revolutionized football from the diets to training players and turning unknown players to world beaters. Yes 20 years at the helm buts his last 10 years hasn't mirrored his first which is why Monsuer Wenger should call it a day and not renew his contract.  

As shocking as this may sound Wenger is not and maybe will not be on level, with Mourinho or Ferguson why??? These guys have made and re-branded teams, they know how to keep their best player & replace them and have fixed on their mistakes which Wenger has failed to do season after season as of late. I can never take away what he has done for my team he made my childhood a golden era in football. But like I said we cant fill the cracks with delusion. Like many have said Wenger makes the decision at the end of the day and for his benefit and benefit of the club that he leaves. Wenger can't take this team forward, and that's been clear to see with the last ten years, yes we are on cloud 9 at the moment but this club is still short of quality of a team that can win the league and dominate Europe which has eluded his CV since the start of his reign in 1996.

Once again I'm congratulating Arsene on his 20 years. Where managers are coming and going then people change their underwear. What he's done is amazing but we can't live of past glories football is a results industry and winning trophies it's not about what you did decades ago. Many tout him for the England job which will be a backwards step for the FA, as I agree with many that English should stick with English, or a country of a particular nation should stick with a coach from their nation, but that's for another blog. They say a legend is as good as his last game, tactically, man management and player wise Wenger lost his mojo years back and I doubt he can compete with Mourinho's, Conte's and Pep's of this world.
