Holmes_and_Watson Posted Friday at 13:41 Share Posted Friday at 13:41 My brother has followed Italian football for decades, and gave me a breakdown of Juric's style. It wasn't a ringing endorsement (which is just fine, after our football revolutions under SR), but said that he was on a hiding to nothing at Roma. Fans were never behind it, and pounced on the first poor results and it went downhill from there. Before that, he had done well to get teams punching above their weight in a top division. Doing it across multiple teams is a plus, that makes him stand out as a go to person, just as we've done. He mentioned the tightened defence, I've seen mentioned elsewhere and preference for 3 at the back. Good timing that he's an available manager who was on SR's radar, and whose last departure had club specific circumstances around it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted Friday at 13:48 Share Posted Friday at 13:48 My biggest concern is that SR will still see survival as a possibility when IMO we should be starting the rebuild already for the Championship promotion season and a manager that knows that league and can get us out of it (not Russ or Jones though) but it seems they still believe it's doable even though we probably need top ten form for the rest of the season to achieve it. As I say I know nothing of Juric other than what is being said but he can't be worse than Russ.* *famous last words... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants at least 1 CB to be aggressive when his team has the ball meaning he'll press into a midfield position to allow others to press high. He also wants his wingbacks to press high, so its more like 2 at the back when we have the ball, nothing wrong with that at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted Friday at 18:08 Author Share Posted Friday at 18:08 Sounds like he prefers an aggressive, pressing style of play - only concern is you can’t turn people into aggressive machines easily. Our squad is very soft. Jack Stephens though could turn into prime Maldini though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly i am surprised that more people weren't aware about him, he has been posted and linked most summers or after sackings on here so he's been in our thinking at least on this forum, i know i posted about him before. Think he's a decent coach, the interest for me is how does it translate to the premier league, I sense italian based coaches like coming here as there is more freedom to play and an onnus to attack.
