The Football Thread 2021/22: England thrown to Hungary lions

[Preezy]

'Father of gegenpressing'

As if nobody ever thought of trying to win the ball back in the opposition half before

He literally went into a cave in the forests of Bavaria and discovered a time-travelling version of himself holding an ancient Teutonic tablet that described how to perfect the art of aggressive forward defending, so shut it

Of course it's been done in various ways over the years but he was the pioneer of that particular style in the modern era.

The Klopp comparisons are already being made... I mean.... like... okay I guess.

He's basically Klopp's idol, and they share a similar philosophy of course they're going to make comparisons. It's not just because they're German.

And then he bought a coaches' hat.

Almost want this to be a repeat of the "Emery to Newcastle" mess just to see Twitter explode.

I am more excited about the 2 years of consultancy that comes after the next 6 months as manager. Getting some external and experienced footballing knowledge into the club has got to be a good thing. Anything more than appointing someone just good at selling t-shirts or who once played for Sir Alex is a massive step up!

I would have preferred them to give the job to carrick.

Seems like a decent move from Utd, but who knows with that club. There's so much more wrong than just the man wearing the coaches hat

[Denster]

Happy with that news.

Joking aside if he IS like Klopp, Ronaldo and Pogba would not be players he’d like to work with.

Pleased with the news for United.

Spurs lost tonight.

BT having to broadcast from an empty Celtic Park for the Rangers match because they won’t allow Chris Sutton inside Ibrox.

What?

Nobody should broadcast any Rangers games until they stop being twats.

[Tomous]

I'm with Rangers on this one. Sutton is a twat

Seems to be an increase in violence recently at football games.

Even funnier is that he appears to be shooting the video in a bathroom or public toilet.
