I'd have to disagree tbh, he adapted for various scenarios in the Championship, playoffs, etc ... ... to bring a demoralised team up to the PL, in his first season, took quite a lot of ability imo. He's now having to get a dozen new players performing together, it'll happen I believe.
I fancy us, our home form is going to be massive this year for us. I was surprised that Brenford managed to get a win against Villa mind.
I disagree as well quick search from analysis done by folk shows.the guy prefers a 442 but constantly tweaks. For example Changing formations pre-match (e.g., from 4-2-3-1 to 4-4-2), Adjusting in-game with substitutions and positional shifts, Employing strategic interventions (like moving boards for set-piece control). Ya doing him a wee disservice dismissing his tactical ability for me
I cant see this 4/4/2 formation in his team selections tbh, the teams he picks always look like a 4/3/3 to me, but you may be right , I may be wrong .
They caused Villa loads of problems mate. Lad they’ve just paid £40m+ for got the winner. They’ve still got some cracking players and have loads of pace up top. It’s a tough game, won’t be easy.
Me too. Villa were awful against the mags mind, when the mags were there for the taking. Strange package then as I expected them to start strong and build on last season
Didn’t see any of the match, been on a cracking golf trip to Carden Park(highly recommended). Disappointing result, let’s hope the coaching staff get to grips quickly with the issues RLB highlighted. A defeat this early in the season to a rival might not be as bad as we think, get everyone more focused than possibly winning would have done. HTL KTF
My son has just asked if I’d be interested in restarting playing golf as he’s interested in!! Get in my boy.
Waste no time, get on with project Brand New Gear straight away. It's a class game mate I hope you do it soon.
I love it mate. Was a 9 (well, 8.6) handicapper before marriage. When we married and hit the house I could only afford one of golf membership or SAFC season ticket. I regret not a single thing. But I earn much better money now… maybe my son will get me on the course! (Also, potential redundancy start if 2027, It’s a threat but my pay off is significant! New clubs here I come
Decent handicap mate, you’ll get back to it soon enough. I tried looking for the golf thread to @ you but couldn’t find it.
