Having a beer with Jan Koller

Both really good articles and a lot rings true

I remember a Monday morning in the sun football results pullout, can't remember who we played but it said ... v some south Coast team lol

There is a post/qoute somewhere of RAs time at Mityjland saying something like i tell the coaches to believe in the process it will come good or something like that

What a goal

Formations dont matter, have you not realised that yet

A bit like Amorim, 1st time in 18mths played a 4231 against Newcastle, got the 3 points, then prompty changed back to 3/5 the following game and were awful and held 1v1 by Wolves as they didnt control the midfield

And the fact that Strasbourg and Chelsea are owned by same management company So effectively interal promotion

Looks like Wood walked off saying ' fucking shit pass' lol

Nesta, Costacurta, Terry, Hierro and Kohler all no good as they were an inch off

I can't stand the 3/5 at the back but also agree 433 wont work because of our fbs so to me it has to be a 4231 or even a 4141 the issue with latter is we haven't the Rodri type player to take the ball from cbs on the half turn to feed the more creative guys, if it were to be Downes it would just be recycled to THB who suddenly thinks he can ping 60yd cross field balls like he did yesterday and pretty much all went out of play or lost possession

Lydon dykes to come on and bully Stephens for the winner

McCarthy Jelert THB Quarshie ? Downes Jander Fellows Azaz Leo AA So you can clearly fit them in playing a 4, also if the 3 are a bit offensive then move Jander into Azaz position, then Bragg/Charles/Romeu(if fit) can fill in. Granted we need a bigger better 9 and a fit Jelert/Roeslav to attempt to have a couple of fb's

Was it not 'out there' that he said the data supports 3/5atb

Apart from 4atb gives you and extra person in midfield, which is why we can get over run, keeps full backs back slightly so Manning wont get caught up field like he does, releases Fellows into his favoured position, 'should' be better communication from 2 cbs between themselves for who goes/drops/picks up unless we go zonal. Less space in behind to put in all these crosses and gives you options of 433, 4231 4141 all whilst trying to build a somewhat as best we can cb pairing which granted is difficult
