mrmojorisin75 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 It'll be interesting to see how he approaches it. He's always been used to scrapping for survival, any means necessary, keep it tight and grind the results out to reach a certain number of points. Now he's going to have to switch things completely and look to attack, score and win as many games as possible. Complete flip of mentality for him, I'll be interested to see how he goes about it. I'm not seeing that myself, we didn't go and all out attack the champo with Rafa, we kept it tight from the off and tried to nick goals. We happened to have Gayle and a few others that were enough to tip games for us. Boro spent loads on strikers, if he can tighten the defence (!) and get them scoring enough they'll go up. That's the formula for the champo and to me he seems very well suited. I'm defending pulis apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Boro have a strong defence on paper and it was good last season, Pulis will make it supreme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, key will be whether he can get the strikers firing but they're a couple of big lumps for him to aim at Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Could go either way that appointment, his teams play in the style they’ve become accustomed to at Swansea but his record at Sheffield Wed isn’t great for a PL manager. He might be someone who manages better at the top flight though than he odes in the lower reaches as his style would favour it more and he has better players to work with. PRobably though an appointment aimed at next season, they may have thrown the towel in on this one, if they don’t invest in January that will be a clear sign. HE is someone who knows the champo and they feel will get them back up, although his record doesn’t show that it’s certain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I watched them against Liverpool and their style is still the same, pass and move, but they lack a cutting edge and are extremely powder puff. Liverpool didn’t even get out of second gear. I think they are down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
