Fennoskandia, sure, but not Scandinavia. Only Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. The Finns are, well, many speak Swedish, so you can understand what they say that way! Verbs are easy, but tenses can be a bit tricky at times due to rules not being followed all the times, but not impossible. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdbayly Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 From watching the Alpha content I'm already sick of inverted full backs and liberos. Should be absolutely impossible for lower / non-league sides to move off the ball like Man City but I fear it will work as well at all levels just like the dreaded Gegenpressing. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of you are absolutely great, I enjoy this thread every year as a lurker and I'm fully aware I and potentially all 'influencers' (I hate that word) aren't going to be some people's cup of tea. Sometimes the ignorance and confidence in incorrect takes from some people is a little silly and even frustrating. Maybe I shouldn't care, but I like to correct them on it in the hope it provides some clarity and stops any misinformation. Realise that is probably a losing battle on the internet but it doesn't mean I won't try! It's Tame because Opinions that dont suit the narative are consistently removed without reason or informed. If a comment broke house rules surely there would be informative response from a moderator for such reply being removed.....not the case on this forum.

I don't understand how people get enjoyment from playing plug and play tactics from forums etc I have refused to play Gegenpress for last 4 years out of principle as it's been so over powered it feels like cheating to me. I suspect this new Inverted and Libero will be the same.

To be honest I’ve been using plug and plays for the last 2/3 fms mostly due to the fact that my laptop keeps micro freezing so trying to watch a tactic to see how it plays has been nearly impossible as every 15-20 seconds it freezes and then skips forward by like 10 seconds.
