Well it wouldn’t harm. From listening to him it sounds like ‘forget’ man marking all over the pitch has been week one’s lesson, so we don’t get carved up in transition, which I would suggest is an even better place. Let’s see how they do. I really liked his manner and what he said in the presser… I just think the prevailing attitude that a new guy walks in and waves a magic wand is maybe a bit optimistic. But hey, a bit of new manager bounce would be nice.
I'd say the prevailing mood is that we'll be lucky to get a point. How times have changed since hard fought draws at Burnley & Brighton were treated with disdain.
most sides would take a point at Leicester. I’m referring to this idea that you walk in with a new manager and everything’s sorted in a few days. we can all see what was wrong… any cnut with a coaching badge can walk in and ‘fix it’ like booking a plumber to fix your leaky defence. sort the defence out, get the attack scoring more goals. Now that’s chapter 1 sorted, what’s in chapter 2 of noddy’s guide to football.
Great, glad it’s all been explained now. I look forward to us giving Leicester a good humping, or we can brand this Yankee geezer a failure and demand big Sam.
In regards to Marsch and the fear players won’t adapt quickly enough to his zonal marking, they’ve had years under Bielsa learning man to man and the last few weeks they looked absolutely clueless, surely it can’t be worse.
I'm not expecting miracles. A point would be a very good result for us, an improved performance with a narrow defeat would be OK but if we get hammered again that won't bode well.
I will be surprised if we will see any significant improvement after just a short week of training. But let’s hope we will
i was mercilessly shot down in flames for suggesting the same yesterday . In reality though i expect his changes will be geared to making us less of a soft touch defensively... which really means filling then gaps in transition. I don't get the impression he's a park the bus coach by any means... but it's easier to tighten up (at least from the very low bar we've set recently!) than to foster flowing creative football in a few days.
