A passive manager is not going to cut it IMO. We need to be positive and aggressive and play on the front foot from the start. Not sure this guy fits the bill. Selles certainly doesn't, no offence but he's not going to get us out of this league. He needs to go. Are you Nathan ?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard, Vieira etc. I see this argument being made a lot, but it doesn't really hold up IMO. Just because someone was a decent op level player doesn't automatically mean they will be a successful manager. Lampard had a superb reputation as a player but he didn't 'command the respect' of the squad at Everton. Far from it. He was aloof, distant, and didn't even attend most training sessions. On the flip side, nobody knew anything about Adkins when we appointed him, but he instantly got the players and fans on board and was a huge success for us. Appointing a manager just because they are a big name from their playing days is just idiotic, and absolutely not the right way to go about this appointment. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think it was stated in a recent athletic article that he intends to bring a heavy possession based philosophy. Which is massively needed by the way because it’s something we’ve neglected for a while now. But also his body of work suggests this too. His teams at City played this way and he was promoted from within a few times which suggests his views aligned with City as a whole and they trusted him to implement that. I’d be surprised if he comes here and tells us his technically good teams he helped develop at City were all against his views.

It's fine to have a philosophy, and most managers do, but it's always going to be compromised by individual player attributes such as talent, stamina, speed etc etc as well as the opposition. If you have something so dictatorial and precise then you become predictable and dull to watch. The best managers will adjust according to circumstances - it doesn't need a particularly prescriptive playbook.

Last night I noticed that they would look for a forward pass by default and the movement with and without the ball was exceptional. Obviously you need very good players to do it but clearly they are supremely well coached as they know each others game telepathically almost. Having more of the ball means you tire less easily which makes sense for the championship which is Tues >Sat>Tues quite often. However I don't want to see meaningless passing around the back. It has to be with an attacking mindset. I'm not sure these players have it in him as they have been coached risk averse football for so long now. Will they listen and be onboard with an unknown manager from Swansea or anyone else from similar background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 18 May, 2023 Share Posted 18 May, 2023 (edited) This playbook is a load of old pony. City & teams like that can have a playbook because they have better players than everyone else. They can continue to play the same way, safe in the knowledge the opposition won’t be able to counter it no matter what they do. We need to be flexible, clever, surprise teams. If they’ve got mincers at the back, get it in the mixer. If they’ve got a couple of pirates at centre half, play a false 9, or a nippy front man. If they’re good on the counter, sit back, if they don’t like being pressed, press them. What’s this obsession with playing “our” way. My advice to the new man would be, have a balanced squad, watch the opposition (as in scouting) and then adjust tactically to them. You clearly have to have a defensive framework, but then tweak that depending on circumstances. Despite its dinosaur reputation, 4-4-2 lends its self to quick tactical changes depending on circumstances and opposition, most trendy hipster formations are at heart 9 men behind the ball when defending and 5 going forward when attacking. A fluid 4-4-2 covers most eventualities. We need to stop with this pony like “they know the triggers”, or “good without the ball”. Fucking pony. Can they play? Yes or fucking no? If they can, they’re in, if they can’t they’re out. Regardless of the “triggers” or how good they are without the ball. If they’re only good without the ball, We’ll pick them when we’re not using a ball, but until then.

But - he didn't make the play offs in a season where Coventry, Luton and newly promoted Sunderland did, and Middlesbrough who were in the drop zone early in the season. At least two of those won't have bigger budgets than Swansea. If we get him then we'll all give him a chance but feels a bit risky / underwhelming to me.

In addition to that he's new to the managerial game and this is going to be a situation like no other - big egos, big internationals, players wanting out etc. Is he big enough to handle all of this?

Same went for Leipzig, worked wonders for them then teams started to suss it all out, it was Nagelsmann who then went against all that redbull were about and changed their system to a 3421, they started winning again, then all German clubs started to follow suit, after Nagelsmann left, Marsch tried going back to the 4222 and that basically got him sacked as they probably had the 2nd best squad but were a shambles, a bit like us really. They then went back to the 3421 formation and they started to click again. Teams should always play to the squads strengths, unfortunately we didnt, we probably should of setup with a 433/4231 a formation we were so used to under Poch and koeman and the press worked alot better under poch using that system than the press under Ralph imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted 18 May, 2023 Share Posted 18 May, 2023 It's hard to know who is out there and willing to take us on next year with so much uncertainty regarding the squad/staff. There's obviously a list of names I'd prefer to this but there's also plenty discussed on here who I'd feel far worse about (Gerrard, Lampard). MK Dons and Swansea fans both seem to have a great opinion of him which is refreshing. I'm hopeful that his brand of attacking possession-based football combined with us naturally having one of the stronger squads in the division next year should lead to something positive. The apprehension on here is understandable given Sports Republic's failures so far, but it appears to be a much better fit than NJ was stylistically. I do completely agree that we needed to do something that the entire fanbase could get behind right away to have a mentality shift over the Summer, but I just can't see who could've realistically provided that (please don't say fucking Potter...). A terrifying appointment either way, but definitely not my least favourite option of a rather grim looking list of managers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
