The Art of War

Post by Rowls » Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:53 pm

You must always do what your enemy least expects. This way you will bamboozle him and render his preparations redundant.

This must be why we keep giving the opposition goals, passing the ball to them and getting ourselves sent off.

We might just be the most innovative side in Premier League history.

We also play better when we go down to 10 men.

That's why we have the most red cards in the PL as we need to go up and gear and catch the opposition by suprise.

Good tactic.

A concerning thing for me is how we don’t appear to get any worse when we go down to ten men. This suggests that the eleven on the pitch aren’t doing anything near enough.

As for the OP, Dyche has beaten us 3 times this season by completely ignoring Sun Tzu’s advice.

Good point. We are genuinely good at handing teams opportunities on a plate.

Carl Clausewitz, currently Head Coach at second-tier Magdeburg, is allegedly advising BFC on this part of its strategy.

You missed out - playing forwards on the wing & playing wingers centre mid.
