True we lost 2 -0 but the score board won't say the whole story.

MCFC VS KBFC match thread

(1/14)

Both teams setup more or less same, having playing the game in midfield. It was a usual MCFC XI and puieta was introduced for KBFC. We'll straight away get to some points
(2/14)
1.KBFC Buildup and MCFCs plan to take it out.

Kerala would build up through Jeackson dropping in between the 2 CBs and Vicente and Facundo taking the half spaces ahead as two 8s. Sahal and Puieta took up the wide channels behind Murray
(3/14)
MCFC had a very good plan against this KBFC build up. They took out the holding midfielder mostly Jeackson. The front 2 will be pressing the CBs by blocking out the passing lanes to Jeackson Singh
(4/14)
The wide midfielders will be pressing KBFC fullbacks which made the build up tricky. Costa here was made to pass out a long pass to Vicente who was intercepted .
(5/14)
The 2 sitting midfielders for MCFC will be behind Facundo and Vicente ready to press for that long pass form CBs. This went on through most of the first half
(6/14)
2. KBFCs right wing

The right wing was almost empty yesterday. There was a whole lot of space on the right side which we seldom used. Pueita was more like coming to the middle rather than utilising those areas. We missed Rahul KP .
(7/14)
3. Waking up late
After the second goal we started putting more pressure to the MCFC side. Jeackson screened the defense while Vicente and Facundo filled the space in between. We pressed each and every balls around opposition box.
(8/14)
Second half we stared stretching the game which resulted in Sahal and Facundo taking up half spaces in between the lines and chance started coming but we couldn't finish our chances.
(9/14)
4 .Defense
The second goal conceded was a clear lack of communication. Albino doesn't deserve a defense like this. We have to find a reliable defensive paring ASAP
(10/14)
Any small contact in the box will result in a penalty. And with Costa being a very experienced defender that is rather clumsy from the player imo. But for the same call we deserve a penalty for challenge on Murray .
(11/14)
Concluding ,

Stop asking for the Sack. We see the consistent teams in the league this season are built around the same core for min 2 years now. Unless we trust a coach and players we will be in the same mess every season.
(12/14)
IMO we did proper homework against MCFC and hit them properly. We could have finished off those chances and a clear penalty wasn't awarded.
(13/14)
This is a project which is a work in progress. We are seeing improvements and we should believe in the team.

TRUST. THE. PROCESS

When thinking about who to play in DM for Leeds the word "role" is important. Let's have a think about the role:


A lot of people think Struijk isn't good enough in the build-up phase. Well, what does the DM do in build-up?

Here's a passing network from last season:


As you can see, Phillips' role in the Championship last season was largely facilitating build up in the wide area (on the left interestingly).

Per Wyscout, Phillips is putting up a figure of 7.03 long passes per 90 minutes and completes around 59%. Last season he was making 6.94 long passes per 90 mins at around 52%.

Per dribbles he's putting up similar numbers across both seasons (between 1 and 1.5 p90) and per duels he's putting up the same number (20 p90).

All of this suggests his role hasn't changed much over the last couple of seasons.
We're all loving the return of the UCL but in terms of football folklore, a fixture going down in Chile tonight may just be the most important match of the week.

It's a relegation playoff between CD Universidad & Colo Colo it has all of Chile holding it's breath. (THREAD)


It's all because the away side is Colo Colo, the country's biggest, most successful club, with 32 titles & the only Chilean Copa Libertadores trophy.

They have never even come close to relegation & the sheer thought of going down is causing all kinds of scenes across the country


From the ritualistic Grandma's doing their bit to convince the football sprits to keep them in the top


To the 5,000 fans outside who awaited the team bus outside the training ground for one last motivational


And of course the club's Barra Bravas with their own take on motivation
