Well, Leeds successfully strangled the life out of that.

Didnt someone tell them they were 1-0 down?

Hello mods. I just realized my post re the Hibs sending off should have gone in the Scottish football thread instead of here (apologies), and was about to ask that you move it there but I see it has gone from here but hasn’t (yet?) appeared in the Scott thread .?

Just don’t think he will be a success as a manager

Commentary in the Chelsea - Leeds semi final used the well worn phrase "dead ball specialist".

So referring to someone who can kick the ball well when it is not moving.

What are players doing on the pitch if they are not adept at kicking a stationary ball? Is it easier to kick a ball that is moving?

In fairness, it isn't just referring to a player who can kick a ball well when stationary

It is referring to a player who can kick a ball and frequently avoid a wall of 6ft+ players and have it find the net with enough pace and power to beat one of the top goalkeepers in world football.

It probably isn't easier to kick a moving ball. But then that is why players like Mark Hughes got glowing reputations for their volleying skills

It’s as if Burnley have seen what lampard has done and thought we’ll have a bit of that

It’s not necessarily a question of tactics and motivation: the problem could be “raw material “

Leave Parker as manager imo. He got them up, won the league well. See if he starts next year strongly and let him take them up again. He may be better prepared next time, Burnley might buy better in the following summer.

Agreed.
Sometimes I think clubs need a reality check.
It’s massive to get promoted to the prem,it’s even bigger to stay up.

Yeah.....I know that....and I'm pretty sure you knew that I know that, and that I was just being a tad facetious

What shocks me more is the number of top flight wide players who seem incapable of crossing the ball with any sort of quality or consistency

Parker has had a few teams in the Prem and just seems to lack the ability to adapt

Even worse,top flight players that can’t get it over the 1st man when taking a corner.
