Football, not Theatre

I bloody LOVE this from Dyche. As the comments suggest, he’s probably rehearsed the line in the mirror beforehand. But it works.

The legacy media wet dreams over Guardiola go right over my head. Unlike the ball, etc.

#AgainstModernFootball is a hashtag I can get behind.

It’s not that I want Forest to play a BC old school style 4-4-2. Nuno tried that once at home to Fulham and was found out.

But please don’t hold up Guardiola as some GOD of evolving football tactics. Forest - and others - were doing this decades ago. It was just called football back in the day.

I’ve not watched the full presser. It was over an hour long. I don’t think he mentioned Burnley or Everton once.

Et tu, Mad Ange?

As I type, Dyche has yet to even take his heated seat in the Forest dug out. He’s won me over with this short clip alone.

Let’s see how I feel at FT following the Porto match.
