Some fine points well made there CCTV, pressing and counter pressing isn't high energy when it's done right, it's more about reading of the game, anticipation and expert positioning off one another than charging about like headless chickens, (Elliott, Jones, Oxalde, Fab rushes of blood reactionary waster)
We haven't maintained a system or selection at all, not at all
We binned off our brilliant right side of last season to include a Championship player at RCM in almost every game, who isn't even a mid and that fucked a lot of things up for a start - We changed system, we changed style, we constantly changed personnel, we blamed players for the team failing through the managers changes, binned them off, then failed worse, then brought them back, picked up a little, but kept changing
We binned of employing a LCM controller at all in loads of games, that's how and why teams have been playing through our left side and left of centre so easily all season, we put it back for the 7-0 over the filthy, then binned it off and brought in Bajcetic who should never have been starting nay game as a more attacking LCM for example
I don't get why anyone is lauding this lad, his stats are terrible, he has been absolutely powder puff and dreadful in at least 3 of the starts he made, he is a decent prospect for the future
I wouldn't sack Lijnders, i'd make him stick to coaching and not give him any input into team management, he went away and tried to wear the big boys pants and was a fucking disaster, lasting just 4 months in the job in the Dutch second tier there are very good reasons he's a coach and not a manager - There have been accusations that his book about other people's ideas and methods gave opposition managers an insight into how we were so successful and help in getting results against us and nullifying us this season, he's a bit of a Rodgers character in my book
