Form
Psychological, physical? Psychophysical?
Should we be patient with our 'form' players - given that they are paid so much and receive the best sports and lifestyle advice available to man*? Or should we berate them for overeating, crashing cars, being weak minded and disrespectful of their loyal fans**? How is your form? Does your employer make allowances? *ok **ok ok |

Before anyone says "Form is temporary, class is permanent," let me say: bullshit.
The history of the game is littered with players who never recovered from 'poor form,' no matter how 'classy.' There's a pretty good chance Fernando Torres is going down this road. If not him, then many others. Richard Wright, Denilson, etc. Michael Cox could reel the names off for you. :cox: |

Form can also be tied in with circumstance. Torres will come good again and that's £#%&! all to do with form. |

Form is about confidence and confidence to try something quickly.
Remember Ruud was having a bit of a weird spell (probably hadn't scored for like 5 minutes or something...) We were playing some CL group game and he wasn't playing particularly well then he got a bit of a fluke goal literally of his arse or something and he almost instantly a different player. I think if you are feeling confident then you make decisions more quickly. It can be that ability to make a decision quickly that can be the difference between it coming off. Torres is a perfect example - 4 years ago you'd bet money he'd score 9/10 1 on 1s with the keeper. Now his confidence is shot, he waits that tiny second longer to make up his mind and the opportunity and his form is gone. |

Remember reading a sports neurology book that included a chapter on the YIPS in golf.
Anything that interrupts the signal flying though your neural pathways will cause a drop in performance. Thinking about Valencia's madly wayward shot at goal the other day. Or any player that can't hit the goal when taking a penalty. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Michael-.../dp/0716730014 |
