KaKa Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) 13 minutes ago, Lotus said: Take it you didn’t watch any of Dortmund while he was there then? Tactically naive would be an understatement. He’d constantly encourage about 7 players to play in little triangles all in about a 5 metre square. Once the ball was lost, one pass would put through absolutely ANY player who ran from midfield and give them a direct attack on the Dortmund goal. It was a never ending theme. And he just dug his heels in and tried even more players playing in a tiny space with intricate passes. The kind of stuff that can only come off if they are no opposition players at all. Alas, in Germany there are 2 sides involved in a football match so it failed. I respect that you see things really differently, but the guy wasn't exactly a bum in Germany. He transformed Gladbach from a bottom feeding club to a Champions League club and did excellent work with an unfancied Nice side in France too. Even at Dortmund he didn't manage to threaten Bayern but he always finished second. Not sure I understand why you think he's not good enough for Newcastle as we are at the minute. Our current manager is Steve Bruce. A man more concerned about bacon and kebabs than football, who takes holidays to Portugal a few games into the season when the team are hovering around the bottom of the league.

sh74 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Apparently the bookies have took a record number of bets today on Frank Lampard. Some bets have been as much as £10,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Surely if it was Lampard this would have all been settled days ago now, keeping Bruce in the job says to me they haven't decided on who they want or they are waiting for a DOF first.

KaKa Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I think Lampard really wants the job and is letting it be known. Probably placed the bet on himself to create more buzz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Whilst I don’t particular want Lampard, at least he isn’t a Dinosaur who has failed for over 20 years. Would happily get behind him (or anyone for that matter). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I don’t see how they could go from having Benitez lined up last year to Lampard this year? I know rafa isn’t available but it’s a completely different approach regardless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
