Colos Short and Curlies Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Not a fan of defenders being captain - for the simple reason that they are the ones who should be questioning referees decisions, but that automatically puts them out of position when setting up to defend set pieces. Midfielder or attacker would be my captain's position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Defenders are some of the best captains IMO. Love a good strong centre back as captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 There's something about that pic that makes me think McClaren is going to leave the match, bleach his hair, get a fat diamond earring and drive a convertible to a nightclub Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Actual real statements that make sense after the game. Food for the soul man. De Jong shedding some light on the approach under Pardew. There was clearly never any intention to try and keep the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmattis Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 In general, it seems pretty obvious that McClaren is more than just an emotional manager like Pardew. He strikes me as someone who even if he's not the greatest in the world, seem to have some clue about his profession. Pardew literally had one plan when it came to tactics, anything outside that frame came as a surprise to him. And he made people around him clueless on top of that, like he confused them. I'm not going to raise my hands even half the way into the season. But if anything I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and I really hope the team does well this season cause they really need to do something positive soon.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 McClaren will give us a style of football imo. No idea if it'll be good or bad yet, but I think he'll have us playing a particular way. Unlike Pardew who was more concerned with what the opposition do. Obviously there'll be games against top teams where he might sacrifice it a bit (see Garry Monk at Arsenal where he said they scrapped their normal game plan to combat them, they won), but overall, I think he's a big improvement.

Ronaldo Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yes, he's a definite improvement. The coaching staff looks miles better than last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
