Obviously lacks vocabulary so says things in round about ways. It's only a problem for me if it limits his ability to get ideas across to the players.
I'm presuming that he passes his ideas onto the coaching staff who implement it, given they probably have a better command of the English narrative.
I’ve not seen it documented anywhere tbh, and the longer it goes on without any solid information the more people will be inclined to engineer their own theories on the subject. It does seem like the club are trying to avoid discussing the issue, which is most strange and will inevitably lead to people drawing their own conclusions, especially in the current environment.
The Dutch coach Peter speaks excellent English. I assume if there’s any communication issues, he’s the man for the job.
Dutch and Scandinavians for the most part speak excellent English. Everyone under the age of 70 started learning it as soon as they started their equivalent of primary school. British schools teach second languages far too late. Second language acquisition is most effective before the age of 11. It’s still possible after then obviously, but the earlier you start, the easier it is.
I listened to that and it was definitely not a ****y you want to be a scout reply, it sounded more like by bloody ell these supporters are very clued up !!!
Was just his way of acknowledging it was an astute question. He didn't dismiss it or get defensive like Pearson or McCann would.
They have to either do as you say and get 2 wing backs who can get up the field and cross the ball. Or, as Liverpool does, play a much higher line, which pushes the midfield and forwards up the pitch, and presses the opponents more in their half of the field. Yes, you are exposed to a ball over the top or a counterattack, but you should get more chances to score.
