54 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Gibraltar had lost their last 13 games, with an aggregate score of 50-0, including losses against giants such of Malta, Lithuania twice, Ireland and Greece. So obviously Wales just drew 0-0 with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Lägerback got annihilated by pundits and in the press aaaages before the FA actually got their fingers out of their asses and sacked him for having Norway perform "below expectations". Solbakken has now led Norway the same amount of games and has a worse record than Lägerback Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the main problem with Solbakken is a problem that is often seen amongst managers of nations that doesn't have star players in every position, but coincidentially happen to have several star players that play in the same position. Instead of doing the sane and normal thing and select the best of the players for each position and fielding a starting eleven with players that play in their natural/normal position, he tends to make players like Sørloth and Strand Larsen (both 6' 4" #9s) play as wingers, forcing our naturally gifted wingers Bobb and Nusa to play as central midfielders. To add to that, he often makes Ødegaard play left wing to accomodate for all of the big name midfielders getting to play instead of having Ødegaard play as #10. I'd much rather see players like Sørloth on the bench and us playing the best players we have available in their natural positions, thus having a team that gels well together and doesn't fuck up all the time due to players playing out of position. Because, even if it's a shame for someone of Sørloth's calibre to be a bench player, Sørloth was unlucky enough to be born in the same generation as Haaland - and Haaland is the better number nine, therefore Haaland should play. There's no point having two massive strikers on the pitch at the same time when that ensures the rest of the team is so out of order the strikers don't get any service regardless. Also, our current generation of players are filled with talent from midfield and up. Our defensive players and keepers are mediocre, at best. It makes no sense to set the team up as "defence first"/"build from the back" team when the players in the positions needed for that type of style aren't up to snuff. What this generation of Norway players need in a manager is the Keegan-esque "stereotype" that's all-out attack, trying to win 4-3 instead of 1-0.

Additional sidenote: I'm of the (probably quite unpopular opinion) that national teams should mainly hire foreign managers to avoid any inherent national bias regarding players, ensuring an objective look at the current crop of players in the nation they manage as well as somewhat of an emotional disconnect when it comes to selections/performance.
