Nani's Manhood
Isn't it wonderful when you find your form again? I have (after about 7 odd months) finally been playing the football that i know i could, but during that baron spell i started to doubt my ability but now i found it, it makes the world of difference.

Its so weird how form suddenly clicks? i literally had one good game and i knew it was back. I guess alot has to do with luck, when things just come off, but i just felt like a was playing with freedom again, just clicked and now everytime i play i know i'll play well.

So has anyone had any experiences like this, and what helped them suddenly go form off to on form,

not being big headed but I've never really lost form in the sense I was playing badly just less than my normal standards.

Generally it's down to laziness or the team playing poor. Both of those factors tend to co-inside unless it's a big game when my effort will be high even if the team is poor.

Agree with danaldinho here on "I've never really lost form in the sense I was playing badly just less than my normal standards." For me, i'll still play decent but I may not be finishing as well as I like (i'm a striker). Basically if I get 2 goals in one game, i'll be set for the season... never really knew why but if I do, I can finish basically anything after that - all mental.

I don't think poor form is laziness or having a lazy team though. For me getting into a slump is just a big psychological thing, which sucks. But i'm pretty critical about my play anyways and feel that every game I should be at least trying to better the previous.

Form is partly down to your own confidence and self belief in my opinion. If I ever go through a rough patch I always need that goal or that bit of skill to get me out of the hole. Once I have doen that you start all over. Confience builds, you start performing better, you experiment with different ways of shooitng or pieces of skill. Maybe the loss of form may be down to trying skills that are too advanced and when they are hard to pull off you look as though you are not performing. From that suddenly you find it hard to get the basics right and you start to lose that form.

Once I think you start doing more and more things right then the whole thing snowballs and your performance becomes much better. When you are low on confidence and you feel you are unable to do anything right then it is very hard to find form. Sometimes something on the pitch will go your way and then you are off again. Then the whole cycle repeats.

finding form is all mental i think..you know when your back when the little things in matches just work in your favour...but the best way to find this form is just to get the basics right..

cause when your confidence is high, you've got more confidence to do things..so my best advice would be just to get the basics right for a match or 2..then the rest will follow
