Derry City expose tactical deficit in eL

[LFC in Exile]

Having observed with some interest Derry City's resurgence this season

no opposing manager seems to have as yet apprehended.

particularly adept ...striker assumes possession .... finding that lane of passing obstructed, feeds the midfield runner in the secondary breach

which isn't to deprecate Derry's tactical repertoire at all - simplicity is the essence of every great stratagem

an attacking routine which one's opponents have perfected with the precision of a set-play demands special attention

easier to counteract through prudent observance of standard defensive procedure

It's worrying that he sees Rico as something to emulate ???

Rico is imitating me (badly, although judging from his tactics on Friday night, he's getting the hang of it)

We could all use indiscriminately aureate circumlocutory periphrases for cheap thrills like Rico does, but nothing quoted above seems particularly outré to me.
