sempuki Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 At last the last remnants of the Pardew regime have gone. Can't remember much about him but can't be any worse than the oldest 43 year old in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 If this is the guy who taught Shay Given how to distribute the ball, don't expect Krul to improve. He improved him considerably. Given went from a keeper whose kicking was embarrassing to a very passable kicker of the ball who actually picked out Shearers head consistently.

DJ_NUFC Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 With what has transpired so far, especially on Monday, I wonder what Cathro makes of all this. Defensive tactics, afraid to attack, scared to play Perez, De Jong, Aarons, etc. Surely as a well-regarded, young, up and coming coach who honed his skills in Valencia at the top level in Spain, he would have a different approach? Question is, how much is he listened to, or how long until Steve is moved upstairs and we finally have an exciting young manager in charge, if and when they choose to give him the reins?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'm not sure our tactics were that defensive, the fullbacks were pushed on and we had 4 attackers. We were just bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not pressing your opponents or showing any desire to play "front foot, fret-laden" football might not equal a defensive tactic, but does equal a distinct lack of opportunism, and a defeatist mentality. A young coach should not stand for that, if he had more of a say. I would at least be in Steve's ear about what's not working, and not picking the right players.

A young coach should not stand for that, if he had more of a say. I would at least be in Steve's ear about what's not working, and not picking the right players. Even without pressing your opponents, if you are playing a defensive counter attacking game, the idea should be to hit back quickly once you have possession. When we get it, the movement and tempo is too slow and as a result we end up passing sideways or backwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
