Getting to know the enemy more than you know yourself... Dont think he meant inviting one in being all Troy and Trojan like, think we (Everton), have got all the concepts mixed up.Sun Tzu
Another short version is: Attacking is the best form of defence, more chances of scoring as well!!The 5 Gs: Get it, Give it, Go, Get it back, Give it, repeat as required.
Short Version: score more than you concede
Even shorter version: WIN.

Hi everyone
Can you direct me to thread, (or can we make one?) that is more objective and less personal, and more about tactics, strategy and really football stuff. I would love to have conversations about how players are running, passing, defending, attacking, about shape, strategy and tactics. Because we're a mix of people - some experts, some with coaching, playing experience, all of us have watched a lot, I'd love to share opinions and see how players are doing and how the team is responding, particularly as we seem to have a Coach who is working on different ideas. It's rare now to find managers who don't just buy their way to success, so being forced into a period of money saving will be interesting.
Nowadays we re spending A LOT of time talking about social media posts, appearance, assuming that we know what's going in players' minds, about their lifestyles, wealth etc. I know it's hard because the PL is entertainment and all about money, but it would be nice to strip it down and talk just about actual football on the pitch.
instead of just 'He can't run', 'He's slow' , 'He's Fat', 'he's a money-grabbing waster etc', let me know if we can take a different approach!
For example:
James should not play because he's an egotistical waster who chooses when he plays and is always on holiday in his private jet'
> could change to >
If James plays, the tactics need to be this, and we need so and so players around him
For example
DCL is never gonna be Kane until he stops spending time and money on clothes
> could change to>
DCL is good at X,Y,Z, and needs to work on this, and this kind of tactic is good for him.
Just seems to me I don't find anyone to talk about actual football...
Thanks for reading

Still think Beardsley should have done it.Just listen to the rap part in world in motion
I have a lot of time for people that tell me Dom has scored 3 in 3 and he’s the second or third top goal scorer in the league - that is a relevant statlet's kill all the Stattos

Football is a simple game. I used to tell my team inspirational things like "do more betterer than them" and "put ball in t' onion net ffs" and "pain is our friend " and "come on."
Generally did the job.
For tough games I'd express the importance of equalising before they score.
Not taking sides, genuine question: Do you understand xG?I have a lot of time for people that tell me Dom has scored 3 in 3 and he’s the second or third top goal scorer in the league - that is a relevant stat
I cannot stress enough how much I hate these modern journalists who quote xG figures and all that American sports nonsense though - all that needs to go directly into the bin
Its down to reputation and luck. Manage a good team and you look a good manager then get selected for a better team - then up goes your reputation. Come to Everton as one of the world's 'best managers' and get exposed, so shuffle off to Real Madrid at the first opportunity to protect your image and rep.When people declare something is simple, its often because they don't realise the true underlying complexity of the matter.
If football was a simple game, why doesn't every armchair manager end up getting paid 10m a year and going to the top level of the game with their sunday team?
