I appreciate some players will have more natural ability on the ball than others, but even players with Football League ability can be taught how to keep the ball, under a decent coach. The way people go on about improving our use of the ball as if it's some mystical art form Then again under Bruce it did feel like something that could never be achievable and so I can't even blame them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched a clip of some young wonderboy Breakfast BBC had in the studio this morning and thought "he's not THAT good". Then realised he was only 4. Absolutely held the ball better than Joelinton, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a no for me on them two get in a proper manager like Martinez at Belgium This is really interesting because Lampard and Fonseca have been talked about a whole lot. Really does make me wonder if it's all agent mischief for the pair of them now. In any case I do think Fonseca has a lot of really good qualities and would be a really good appointment, certainly not Lampard though, as I think he'd have a melt down if any criticism came his way and we'd be right back in the Bruce situation again.

The Prophet Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I don't know loads about Fonseca, but reading about his style and philosophy at a high level, it sounds very much like he has similar strengths and weaknesses to Martinez. That said, I can't comment on what Fonseca's sides look like without the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 From what I've read about Fonseca it's hard to judge what "his" style of play. At Shaktar it was easy to play a possession game as they had the best players and played a different game in Europe. At Roma he changed from a back 4 to a 3 as different players came in. Maybe he doesn't have a set style of play, just likes to be attacking and uses his players to what he thinks suits them ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Ideally we get a sporting director first, in my opinion the 2 strongest links in Rangnick and Campos don’t match up to the managers we are being linked with in that I feel we would be going for a better candidate than any of the ones linked.

Consortium of one Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Well, all eyes will be on Jones. Can he organize the defense? Can he teach his players to hold onto the ball a bit more? If he can start getting some results it buys us time to do things the right way. If it's more of Bruce's naffery we'll have to move really fast.

He seems to put a lot of thought into how to make it happen anyway, if what we read on his methods are accurate. I suppose the only question would be how would it translate in the Premier league.
