Aye thats a pretty good comparison. Reckon he will have us pressing high and we will be a pretty fit hard working team but dont think we will see the football that TM had us playing

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.

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 :emoticon-0102-bigsm

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double pivot is a withdrawn central-midfield or defensive-midfield pairing.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.

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

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

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.
