Disco Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ketsbaia being linked with the APOEL job to replace Donis who's taking my over as Greece manager. Former Blackburn hero? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 If he can turn that into something like 7th, 8th, 6th over here, then he's been a great appointment. He needs to turn it into 1st to appease us deluded Geordies. He's from even further south than that london, I hate him already. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sure this has already been posted but from an article in FFW: Garde is a smart, knowledgeable, and likeable man, and right now it’s impossible to judge his time at Lyon: he needs a season in charge of a club that isn’t selling its players or hawking them across Europe to various suitors. Sounds like Ashley's ideal manager. Galtier and Tuchel would be more exciting probably, but they might not fit as well into the Ashley game plan. He will always look at the profits ahead of the glory. Still, as long as he's intelligent and has some genuine coaching credentials it will be a step forward. It will be great to start looking forward to football matches again safe in the knowledge we won't be watch turgid shit served up by an absolute cunt.

Kaizero Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Should change the poll to: Garde Tuchel Galtier Carver Some Other Cunt As those are the ones heavily linked/not ruled out by themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The Northern Echo, says that Remi Garde wants the job and is hoping to talk to the club some time this week. Dont know how true that paper is. But, but, but no one would dare suffer the atrocities Alan had to? Surely not! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Be happy with Garde like he's the least favoured on mine, he's beginning to read a lot like Pardew from the articles i've looked at Difficult to judge really, he's getting players sold from under his feet every season. You could say that was the case with Pards but that was never really the issue with him, it was more the fact he was trying to play long ball 90's football with players who were bought for technical ability.

His tactics, concentrating on defending with midfielders, playing strikers out of position etc, Lacazette was used wide last season quite a bit and much less effective, this year with Garde gone he has been used more as a striker with much more effect (highest scorer in lique 1 i think) They were much more of a threat for the League when he was assistant but when he jumped up to head coach they seem much less of a threat this article mentions sitting back and inviting pressure and also playing with much more defensive tactics http://frenchfootballweekly.com/2013/04/28/olympique-lyonnais-the-tactical-debrief/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're the perfect job for him then... Quite frankly all 3 candidates are similar, it's almost like they were hand picked to work in the structure like we pick players with low wages Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 And to be honest, "defensive" or "structured" football or however you want to brand it isn't a particularly bad thing as long as he's good at it. The issue with Pardew for me wasn't particularly that we were defensive, but he couldn't do that either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Nothing wrong with strikers being used wide tbh, there's a huge difference between using them as wide forwards in a 433 like Garde used to and as 2nd fullbacks like Pardew used to.

The issue with Pardew for me wasn't particularly that we were defensive, but he couldn't do that either. I think what became glaringly obvious was that Pardew didn't have a frigging clue what he was doing. We'd set up defensively and still lose 4-0. If you set up defensively and execute a good, counter-attacking plan, I wouldn't have a problem with that if we were winning games. The difference with Pardew is that he was so shit scared of every team we played, talked them up in every pre-match presser etc, I mean what does that do to the confidence of the players?

The issue with Pardew for me wasn't particularly that we were defensive, but he couldn't do that either. I agree, he couldn't do fuck all, the only ones that managed to stay good were the ones that couldn't be pardewed, Ba, Cabaye, Debuchy, Sissoko to an extent (it's like he's come out the blocks this year and said 'fuck you, you won't spiral my career backwards after last year' I think he's got us that downtrodden we're paranoid to have anyone and just look at any possible flaws instead of looking at the possible pro's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
