Happinesstan Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 29 minutes ago, Joey47 said: This is quite a scary thought, considering we are in a relegation battle How do we think he would line us up? Back 3 of Schar, Lascelles and Fernandez, Manquiloo and Lewis as WBs. Hayden and Willock in the moddle with Almiron, ASM and Wilson up front. If he can get some spirit in the camp we should do enough to survive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, what I like the most is his planning, it's like Rafa, he just fucking loves football. He's as close to Rafa as we could get at the present time but plays a completely different and unique style. We'll need some shit hot fullbacks though but I'd like to see Lewis after some decent coaching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I’m totally sold on Fonseca but after watching a few interviews with him speaking English I can’t get it out of my head that he sounds like Borat ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 So basically his style is completely unsuited to the players we have BRING HIM HOME Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 No I don’t want Allardyce, but Favre seems like a more sensible option to me at this point in time. Roma conceded 58 goals in 38 games last season in the League. With the quality of our defence and the lack of a decent defensive midfielder this does not bode well. Nothing would please me more than to return to an attacking approach but I just don’t think we have the players at the moment. And we cannot just magic a new defence in January.

toontownman Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Favre has also been criticized for his teams defending. Especially from those that watched Dortmund on this message board. Favre plays attacking front foot football too? We would be getting more experience especially in turning relegation form teams around but not sure pragmatic or Defensive is right with favre.

It’s not like Bruce was even playing our best defenders. Or coaching them. We’ve been playing wingers/midfielders at both full back positions for ages.

STM Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 If he's half decent he will be able to get a tune out of Wilson, Almiron, Maxi and Willock to get us some decent wins at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh memories of the Munich friendly a few years back when Owen Hargreaves showed us how football had changed. Blokes in front of in raptures "this is brilliant, all possession, go when the times right, so fluid and in control", we get the ball, screams of "GET IT FORWARD MAN, WE'LL NOT SCORE FROM THERE!!!"

However, that bit where he says it makes him really uncomfortable when his team can't keep possession. He better start learning to cope with that feeling.
