New Head Coach

This is my expectation. We will be a really aggressive pressing team with high tempo possession. I expect he will want a hard running centre forward as he will hit the channels a lot and try to play from there. I am not massively enamoured with the thought of his style, but I hope he is adaptable enough to have us playing some decent stuff through the lines as well. Our squad, as it stands, needs the ball on the deck and to be playing round or through, not over teams.

 

No player has said this. It's just the usual twitter ****er wanabees

 

All sounds positive but can someone explain what a ‘double pivot’ is? I hear it all the time and I haven’t got the foggiest what it means

 

I'm not that good at explaining so this should help

double pivot is a withdrawn central-midfield or defensive-midfield pairing. They are positioned in front of the central defenders, inside the full-backs or wing-backs, and behind the attacking midfielders. The duo is most commonly used in a 4-2-3-1 formation, operating behind a single number 10.

Two number 6's

That makes sense now, usually just nod along in the pub when everyone’s on about it haha

 

Finally heading towards the end game now. Let’s hope now is a time to kick on.

 

I think he will be, young coaches are often still trying to find out what works for them so hoping he will find an exciting hard working style that suits us

 

Sounds like word is getting out now, so hopefully we’ll get news early this week.

 

Think about it as having a hinge, or 2, in the team. Hinges pivot around a pin, to different angles. So the idea is players can pivot the play. In other words move it from one side to the other, or from back to front, or front to back. They are the pin around which our direction of play moves.

 

just need big fabrizo romano to pop up at the back post now and i'll be happy, the only problem is we've been here before with poyet and keane let's hope it's 3rd time lucky,

 

Will Still to Sunderland, confirmed. Here we go....

 

That's the worry for me.

 

Hope Romano doesnt balls it up like he did with Messi. Got that one wrong at the double. Wouldnt be the first time he got something wrong about Sunderland he will be double checking his info on us this time I reckon.

 

i recon it's KLD who tells him

 

"Welcome back Hecky"

 

Bloody Heck....

 

to be fair he might actually turn out an alright appointment for someone, think since he's been sacked he's been studying sanchez at girona and alonso at bayer leverkusen aswell

 

He also said he's not going to Norwich yesterday.
