Soccer Spain purposefully play like this. This is international football.

I'd like to see our players be able to pass it round well and freely, but at the same time be able to adapt to situations. Fast counters are great to watch, as are long shot screamers

Oh and being great in attack doesn't mean we're unable to defend but the whole team has to be able to attack

If we play an attacking pacey side like

Ramires Lampard
Hulk/Marin Mata Hazard
Torres

And play with tons of creativity and whatnot, even if we concede more than usual defensively as a result of the attacking setup, I'll be more than happy. A top 3 finish consistently would be the aim with that side, accompanied by trophies along the way of course

True but I still don't want us to purposefully play like that day in and day out and have that be our "style"

I really don't like watching Spain

As well as being very boring, they're far too defensive

Only when they actually penetrate defences are they good ie when eventually they get the odd break through. Italy game is a prime example. Their goal was fantastic to watch but they created chances only a few times in the game

For the vast majority of the 90 it was a borefest watching them play

Barca play excellent football which is good to watch but their style revolves around Messi and so is a lot different

Don't agree that Bosingwa can't defend!

Its a myth that has been blown out of proportion, because like anyone, he makes the odd mistake and one of them was higlighted on MOTD. If Bosingwa can't defend then neither can Terry!

He closes down play really fast and has loads of pace to cope with the fastest of forwards.

We have the best defense in the PL, why all this stupid criticism.

Tbf to Biggish I didn't mind him until that long injury

He had some faults but he was actually a decent player

Soccer I agree about style

Fast-paced counters are great to watch. You can't beat a passion-fuelled end to end encounter like we saw in the PL last season as far as excitement goes

I don't think we'll have a player like Bosingwa at the club for a long time

I hope not CSTP!

CSTP

My only issue is people forget about pre-injury bosingwa and it's a shame. He doesn't deserve the comments he gets given his service for the club.

I don't like how people forget how good he was pre-injury, but he has been poor since

As TBK is to Sturridge, Soccer is to Bosingwa

He's not a good RB.

Defensively he somehow daydreams while the opposition are within 25 yards of goal and doesn't believe in marking players

And his crossing is usually very bad

There's something about him tho. He's so..innocent; with the brow and whatnot and celebrating like he did

Soccer got there before me

Don't worry. Not always good to be first

Navy

Which type? Ones to wear with jeans when you're going out somewhere (depends on colour of jeans mind)

Or with something formal or what. Trainers?

Grey, grey goes with everything. I have a pair of Nike trainers that I wear everywhere, sports, jeans, chinos..go with all of them

Navy is good as well. Light blue is a feminine trainer
