What the hell does "playing within himself" mean?

does that make it any clearer?

Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgh
You're all doing it on purpose now.
Tango lock this thread, it's out of date. Finito. Finished. Last Feckin Year. I wish I'd never revived it..........

I was gonna ask the same question.

What the hell does "playing within himself" mean?

From what I witnessed at MK dons I'd say it means taking no risks, playing with little confidence, passing it sideways and being generally lacklustre. Could be wrong though! I think Neil is being kinder to him than he has been to Walker. They both need to pull their fingers out if they want to stay in the team though.

I don't know man, you could as well be describing Danns. But Lennon seems to love Danns.

He likes his high energy midfielders, danns provides that even at his worst. Vela was lethargic at MK.
In the same game Danns was blocking a runner through on our goal one minute then bursting into their box the next. He was massively better than Vela on the night. He's limited of course, but aren't all our players one way or the other?
He needs Pratley back alongside him, they were very good together last season, can provide a platform for our front lads to miss chances from!

Beats Dougie's assertion that his players weren't good enough to stay up.

Fook me, at least get the quotes reet

After we'd been trashed at Fulham

Are these players good enough to stay up?

Doesn't look like it, does it?


Having seen the abject capitulation, it was hard to disagree

[Enoch]

Actual quotes CAPSLOCK! You are kidding surely.

Not from this thread, but it's still my favourite 'prediction' from last season.

I keep wondering about where we'd be if Lennon had come in during the summer, where he'd have had a full pre-season to work on tactics and the players wouldn't have been destroyed mentally by playing in such a stifling system under a manager they didn't like. I think we'd be closer to the top 3 than bottom 3.

Gets me every time.

Fook me, do I really need exact quotes, page references and footnotes? Perhaps a bibliography?

That was waving the white flag in my opinion and interpretation. Feel free to nitpick though.

[Worthy4England]

Yes. Could we have references to PPG too please?

Yes. Could we have references to PPG too please?

And net spend. Always net spend.

I've been to both home league games so far, and taking no risks, playing with little confidence, passing it sideways, and being generally lacklustre sums Danns up.

That and some woeful shooting and misplaced passes.

I didn't see the MK Dons performance, mind.

But Danns has been on a downward spiral for a while.

Maybe he has some energy, but I'm not convinced.
