The weirdest thing about the appointment is Ten Hag's Ajax team had a really strong identity and discernible playing style, and then he comes to Man Utd and does a Steve Bruce. It can't all have been the players doing it themselves at Ajax, surely? Edited November 4, 2024 by Holmesy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't all have been the players doing it themselves at Ajax, surely? Ten Hag was challenged about that. He said he didn't have the players to play the same style as he did at Ajax. He did successfully implement a high press and our final third turnovers etc. were among the best in Europe. Not sure what his plan was for the gaping holes in midfield though.

I rate that Michael Edwards at Liverpool very very highly. I thought it quite interesting that they spoke to Amorim first and opted against going for him, before then pivoting to Slot. Not sure if the reason for why they chose not to go for him was ever reported, but it did seem strange. Read somewhere Liverpool didn’t like how he had exclusively played a back 5. Arne Slot looks a great modern coach. Likes youth. Doesn’t mind focussing on coaching and tactics and leaving transfers up to others without complaint. Tactically flexible.

Could be good for Arsenal if they get a decent replacement. Couple of decent signings under his reign but otherwise spent an insane amount with many expensive duds while failing to move on flops. Selling Nketiah for £30m is probably his biggest accomplishment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that Amorim wanted more control on transfers. Arne Slott official title is head coach of Liverpool and not manager. As long as Edwards is at Liverpool, we will not be letting managers dictate transfers. We will see how that experiment shapes up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted November 5, 2024 Share Posted November 5, 2024 What's the Forest owners plans? Saw Edu is going to oversee all his clubs is he planning on doing a Red Bull type thing with clubs all over the world?

Nine Posted November 5, 2024 Share Posted November 5, 2024 Don’t know if it has been posted here but apparently Gerrard is on the brink in Saudi and has been turned on by the Al Ettifaq fanbase, so we’ll probably have to suffer him while he sits in one of those comfy punditry chairs every week soon.

Feels like he'll have little input especially given they will want to avoid the Ten Hag style mistakes. Maybe he just thought he couldn’t wait any longer to take the next step and capitalising whilst his stock is at his highest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopeandGlory Posted November 5, 2024 Share Posted November 5, 2024 Roma are a complete basket case these days, aren’t they? Are these not the same people who Everton believe are their great saviours?

Yeah it's the same family that bought up Everton's debt and is trying to buy the club now. I for one am delighted they're priming the Lampard back to Everton pipeline Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
