Taylor1996 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/53999267 Hopefully Bologna mould the kid into a world-class anchorman. God knows we need a midfielder who has natural defensive intelligence. It's uncomfortable watching McGregor do his 5 yard pass backwards routine for 90 minutes. And the less said about McLean and Jack, the better. Turning down Bayern Munich is a bold move. I hope he doesn't live to regret it. I'm confident that either Patterson or Ashby will develop into good right back Edited September 26, 2020 by Taylor1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would maybe be more beneficial for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our midfielders don't create chances, hell, they hardly make forward passes. Our wingers don't beat people. Even if we had Haaland, he wouldn't be be of any use. All he would be doing is making runs into the channels trying to catch long, hopeful balls. We'd make him look like a taller Kenny Miller.

Taylor1996 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 No idea who Ron Burgendy is. I was thinking Pirlo, Petit, Roy Keane (in his later days), Lambert, Dunga, Deschamps, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfingers Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Anchorman is a bit of a dated approach. Most teams place with a either a 2 in the middle or a 3. I cant think of many teams who play with one player protecting the back 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less intelligent people would call you a "troll", or a variant, but i'd rather go deeper than that, as it's more nuanced: I obviously got your back up a while back when we, apparently, had a conversation. But I honestly don't remember. 90% of the people here bleed into one, for me. This has triggered a reactionary defensive response from you. This manifests itself in a passive aggressive manner, and sometimes, not so passive, to downright abusive. You obviously can't debate like a rational person, or add anything of substance to a conversation, so you try to make up for your lack of intellect (We have a player in Serie A and you're babbling about a stupid movie!? I googled if) , ability to learn, and football knowledge, by being abusive and/or by trying to be funny. Sorry, mate, can't go deeper than that, as I don't know you. However, if you want a deeper analysis, drop me a PM and we'll go from there. I'd have to charge you a fee, though. But we can go into payment after you send your first PM. If you want to follow me around the forum, like a wee puppy, fair enough. I take it as a compliment that you're fixated on me... Especially whilst I literally have no idea who you are. However, If you choose not to take me up on my therapy offer, and you still decide to follow me around, (leaving little droppings, like a naught puppy) I shall ignore you, as my time is too precious to waste it on a person who clearly doesn't want to be helped.

The 2 is usually a double-pivot (two anchormen) like in the 4-2-3-1. But if you do it wrong (See Scotland and Manchester United), and try to force midfielders into the double-pivot, it's a recipe for disaster.

That would be a no? Well, it's an open invitation. No PM? That tells me that you require an audience, meaning you have an innate need for attention, even if it's from negative circumstances. You require approval from people, the more people, the more validation you receive and it replenishes your serotonin and oxytocin levels.

ErsatzThistle Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 A keen follower of the Scotland national football team and occasional TAMB browser, Mr David Lynch had this to say after reading dozens of manic posts about Tartan Army's notorious spelling and grammar Nazis, Andy Robertson the Anchorman, and playing our U19 squad instead of the current senior squad.....

ger intae them Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 away and take a double pivot tae yersel. Ron Burgundy needs to given the respect he so clearly deserves ...... the way he mastered free-style jazz flute confirms this. Seems a bit early for Hickey in Seria A, no? Interesting if he gets on the park. And before burgundy slaters say I’m not wanting him to do well, good luck to young Hickey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see him involved in the first team squad (I had expected him to be stuck in the youth squad, which usually happens with young Scottish players who make high profile moves).
