I was fascinated to listen to an interview with Villas Boas before the game against West Ham when he was discussing Pro Zone and indirectly, the design of play that Sam Allardyce engages. I have always had a sly preference for small Andre (place in an impossible situation with the odious John Terry at Chelsea) and think he talks lots of sense. He may mumble a bit but he enjoys the enthusiasm of the English game, is a about the game and certainly desires to get his team playing in the right way. He said that using Pro Zone and other statistics was really of only limited use when preparing a team for a game title. Data may maybe not rest but can be quite misleading a' 15 shots may seem good but when they all flew wildly on the bar then it's unimportant. Likewise, 65% ownership looks great, but if all it involves is moving between centre-backs and the owner, this is equally unnecessary. As is aterritorya when the ball is lumped in to the box so the defending team basically regain control (area of the Pro Zone concept) or, I guess, if the Toon happened to have 20 edges in a casino game. No, what he actually said was that getting into players minds was what's most important to winning fits, having players with a confident attitude and assuming that they could do things and not afraid of trying things that don't work. Gareth Bale is really a classic exemplory instance of that and demonstrably he's a great relationship with his manager as well. I reckon Pardew is proving quite good as well, truly coping so far with Ben Arfa suggests it. Nevertheless, Villas Boas also explained you will need good players, or soft good players as Joe Harvey (alternative Keegan in the 90s) used to express, when explaining his group of the 70s, Malcolm Macdonald abloody good playera, Terry Hibbitt abloody good playera, John Tudor abloody good playera, Iam McFaul abloody good playera and etc. Fill your team with soft great players and get into their heads this is what they and the team are and anything becomes possible, whether you have spent a tedious 2 hours looking at a pc printout of percentages or not! Mike, your tactics and style remain a disgrace to English football and I hope they get West Ham down. Jonnie runs a leading and walking organization in the north of England.
