Tika Taka is ok I always prefered Total Football. Which does allow the defenders to hoof it up in times of trouble.
Tika Tika will take years to embed into the cluub ethos. Time we do not have.
Total football would have been the more logical step in the right direction.
Not allowing defenders to do long balls is ridiculous.
No matter what anyone thinks. Having crosses into the box requires someone to get on the end of it...
Suarez is out tallest striker.. Whats his ratio for heading?
Carroll had the best in the league last year at 65%... Why he didnt get 10 games or so in a row to prove himself I'll never know.
When He, Suarez and Gerrard played we looked good...
A few points to mull over:
More goals come from low balls into the box than high balls.
An attacker's height isn't anywhere near as important as his positioning.
Andy "king of the headed goals" Carroll, scored 4 headers for us in 18 months.....
Don't believe the hype.
