    “I don’t think tackling is a quality. It is something you have to resort to, not a characteristic of your game. I can’t get into my head that football development would educate tackling as a quality, something to learn, to teach, a characteristic of your play.

    How can that be a way of seeing the game? I just don’t understand football in those terms. Tackling is a [last] resort, and you will need it, but it isn’t a quality to aspire to, a definition. It’s hard to change because it’s so rooted in the English football culture, but I don’t understand it.” -Xabi Alonso

    Yeah, ******** you all. The EPL Sucks!

    All true, but to be fair to Mauricio, he had to make the tackle to cover for someone else's mistake...

    I agree 100%. I just like a good excuse to post that quote. And it was a great play by Pineda.
