rosa Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Makes me feel old and Im only 28 and still have all my own teeth look.... Same here, can't believe it's 15 years since he left.... As for Royle playing hoofball at everton/city, don't remember what city were like but his Everton side were known for their 'Dogs of War' tactics (a tag which he hated) rather than for playing route 1.He took them from narrowly avoiding relegation to winning the FA Cup and playing in Europe for the first time in a decade. What counts is what works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor must be neeing an oxygen cylinder as well..! There is a slight hoofball natures to Joe's style.......... he likes to get the ball forward early and play all the pretty football in the opposing teams half. BUT! There is a massive difference in Joe's style compared to Rotten Ronnie's, it's very rare to see a mind numbingly boring game like we suffered with Ronnie most of the time (including victories!!) when Joe's in charge. If we're not winning he will throw everybody up front...... and I mean everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardy Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 The wings are the key, 2 grafting midfielders, 2 big old centre halfs, 2 full backs who will run themselves into the ground and 2 solid strikers! Its sound simple and to be honest with what we had in the early 90's it was, the amount of times we were so gung-ho we got battered but sneaked a win was brilliant. Nobody was ready for us in the 1st Div/Prem as Chelsea, Arsenal et al, found out. All we can do is hope that he kicks the big headedness out of the dressing room, because i dont remember 1 player back the the Royle era having a big head! Well apart from Ricky Holden wearing a keeper shirt just after we signed John Keeley, and everyone shouting "Keeley, Keeley, Keeley" only for rick to show us his new bald head! Bring on the good times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor must be neeing an oxygen cylinder as well..! He resorted to long ball tactics when we got into the top flight. Due to our lack of cash and inability to attract the better midfield players, Joe resorted to using two battling midfield players to get the ball and move it out to the wings or forwards as quickly as possible. The motto was simply to score more goals than the oppsition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
