Lille don’t play with a low block so wtf is that Christopher on about?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Christopher says they play a low-mid block, oh dear.
I guess at 20 years of age what Christopher has seen in a couple of games will define the rest of his career.

Was a joke you miserable caaant

if you’re not sure, say so.

But don’t bother highlighting how a 20yr olds suitability would suit certain teams when you’ve only seen a couple of times.

Nontheless Galtier, Lille’s coach says it would be his dream to manage Liverpool. He also plays with a high press.

Ok mate?

Waving your willy around thinking you have some kind of special knowledge.

Very happy to hear that about Galtier, hope that happens for him someday. Not really sure how relevant that is

Are you sure about that second part though mate, because I mean, in the admittedly few games I've seen they never set up in a high press.

And I wanted to fact check myself after you said I was wrong but when I googled some analysis of Lille they all said they play in a mid block and occasionally a low block, but none of them mentioned anything about a high line, bar two match reports when they played a newly promoted team this season and a relegated team last season - which tbf even Mourinho plays on the front foot against some teams

Speaking of him, Mourinho raided lille's staff when he joined us last year because of stylistic similarities between their ways of playing, so I would be surprised if you could show me something about Lille playing in the way you're describing

Have a read of this and you will see that you talking about a low-block (which you then elevated to low-med block) was total bullschitt, be good to see you actually admit it.

The second one is the game against the newly promoted team who sit in the relegation zone I already mentioned - incredibly brave to play on the front foot against them

The first is an article that says

a) Lille get caught having too much space in between the lines because their defensive line isn't high enough

b) Lille are at there most dangerous when they're playing on the counter

c) Lille's counter pressing is best epitomised by a quote from Jose Mourinho.

I was wrong about Lille playing a low a block most of the Time so corrected myself to say that they play a mixture of a low block and a mid block. It's a moot point though because it still means that botman has very little experience playing in a high line so it would be strange for Liverpool to gamble on him translating well to that system.

I was wrong about Lille playing a low a block

——————
Yeah no schitt. So whatever other arguments you hold from the same basis are suspect.

Not to mention the player is just 20 years old so to suggest he can’t play a different way is off the mark.

I didn't suggest he couldn't play in a high line I said we haven't seen him play in a high line so it would be a risk for you to buy him, making it a strange signing for a club who don't seem to make many risks in the transfer market and are very smart with who they sign.

You can absolutely argue this is the case even if I'm wrong about Lille playing a low block, because a mid block still isn't a high line ffs

I was wrong about the low block, you were wrong about the high press. We laughed, we cried and we loved along the way. Let's leave it be and not Winston this article about a player you apparently aren't even interested in

You were wrong.

You made an assumption on a 20 year old player after seeing him in action a couple of times. If we do sign him as suggested is for a reason to suit our style.

What assumption did I make about him?

Also a high press doesn’t necessarily mean a high back line.

Hence the gaps between the lines.

Your assumption is that Botman is not suitable for Liverpool’s style based on:

A) your incorrect info that Lille play a low block
B) His career to date (he’s just 20years old)

Basically you were talking out of your ass.

"Your assumption is that Botman is not suitable for Liverpool’s style based on"

"I didn't suggest he couldn't play in a high line I said we haven't seen him play in a high line so it would be a risk for you to buy him, making it a strange signing for a club who don't seem to make many risks in the transfer market and are very smart with who they sign."

I literally explained this already talk about going round and round in circles already

You laughed at me and told me to "quit waving your willy around" when I said Lille played in a mid block and then conviently ignored the fact that I was right about that.

I tried to laugh this off and say we should leave it alone but apparently you're not interested in that for some reason, strange bloke

You were wrong about low block.

Unfortunately you have now resorted to trying to explain yourself and providing a report on the discussion rather than developing the points you originally started with.

That’s called trying to save face from being wrong in the first place.

All done here. Feel free to add another retort if you wish. No problem if you don’t.

"Unfortunately you have now resorted to trying to explain yourself"

resorting to explain yourself ffs, not 'resorting to insult' but resorting to explain yourself - imagine someone doing that when somebody clearly doesn't understand something

You were wrong about me saying he couldn't play in a high line. You clearly thought that Lille didn't play in a mid block, you were wrong about that too.

But the fact that I said Lille play with a low block apparently nullifies everything I've said even though I already corrected myself and it doesn't affect my point at all about botman not having played in a high line.

You are fascinatingly dense - it is as if your brain is not capable of grasping multiple concepts at once so once you latched on to "ha ha man was wrong about low block" you couldn't think of anything else to say

Fack me this conversation is just the perfect example of why this forum is awful nowadays.
