Chorlton_Latic Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Corridor of Uncertainty sounds like a goth band. Most of it sounds like discarded ideas for names of levels on Sonic the Hedgehog. I can only assume that when he gave it the Big I am about going to all these esteemed clubs, shadowing the finest coaches in the game to fine tune his 'philosophy', he was actually rummaging through the bins at Sega. Makes more sense, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Charles Hughes indeed with POMO Dave just checked as I like Singe had Les Reed as the name in my mind "Hughes presented his ideas in the now defunct magazine Match Analysis and concluded most goals were scored from three passes or fewer, therefore it was important to get the ball quickly forward as soon as possible. He based this analysis on over one hundred games at all levels, including games involving Liverpool F.C. and the Brazilian national team, as well as many England Youth games. His ideals were developed from the those developed by World War II Wing Commander Charles Reep.[3] From his statistical analysis, Hughes emphasized the importance of particular areas of the field from where goals were most often scored. He called these areas the 'POMO' - Positions Of Maximum Opportunity - and asserted that players would score if the ball was played into the 'POMO' enough times. He stressed the importance of set plays and crosses into the penalty area.[4] Many British coaches advocated his long-ball philosophy but critics have derided his philosophy for encouraging a generation of players who lack basic technical skills and understanding of different tactical playing strategies."

GlossopLatic Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Whether we use PowerPoint and the terms "bomb alley" and "corridor of confusion" or chalk and blackboard and the terms "overlap" and "cross" can we get our full backs to do this please.

So we have so called modern ideas based on WW2 commanders and derided 1960s coaches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 So we have so called modern ideas based on WW2 commanders and derided 1960s coaches? I seem to recall reading most of his analysis was flawed anyway. Can't remember where though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeylandLatic Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Yes, I'm sure that will work out as planned. This whole football as a science thing is one of the most retarded things ever conceived, amazing so many chairman eat that :censored: right up. Unfortunately it's a fair reflection of employment to most major companies, mindless professional buzzword ridden waffle is a key skill to 'get ahead'.

paw4 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Now what would Clough say? " It's a simple game you get hold of the ball and put it in the f*cking net" ( note to Latic's players, not ours please ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC0AFC Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Anyone see Mourinho blame the defeat to Everton the other week on the computers being shut down so he couldn't hold a tactical analysis meeting of the opposition hours before the game?!?!
