Can anyone name 5 top class proper CH's in the PL nowdays?
This is an absolute fact - I have a young lad playing on the league under 14 representative team, and they are constantly told about keeping possession and passing the ball across the back 4 Last Sunday they played a friendly game against a nearby representative side and we basically got our arses handed to us One of the managers said to me afterwards that it was a change of formation that killed us, but I was very pissed off at the time and told him that it doesn't make any difference what system you play if we gonna keep fcuking about with tippy tappy football
I shouldn't have said it I know, and the ironic thing about it is that my son (who is playing centre half) is the best ball playing centre half that they have, but I am constantly on his case about needing to win more tackles
