I will have a stab, its because the team is on the backfoot straightway due to the lack of early forward movement from full backs and midfielders..

losesome Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Because we start 3-5-2 , The players don't like it and after 20 min he reverts back to 4-4-2. Happened at least 3 times in matches so far this season (incl friendlies). Why cant he just start 4-4-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Or it could be the players are just not listening to the managers instructions, if so what does he do about that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haribo_man Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Dunno, control them ala father Ted in the over 80's 5 side side via remote control. Then they wouldn't have to listen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) I didnt go on saturday so I cant answer. Last night however was due to boro. They took the sting out of the game straight away, by keeping the ball. They were putting 10/15 passes minimum together and we couldnt get the ball. It meant that we dropped deep and due to to how comfortable they were on the ball - we struggled. I saw an interview with a wigan player years ago. When they first went up they started with chelsea at home. The manager said "go for them early" From kick off chelsea passed back, along, across, forward, back again etc.. for over 35 passes. They came to nothing, but the wigan game plan had gone as they couldnt get the ball. Chelsea did that again next time they got it. All spark had gone from the game, chelsea imposed themselves and won easily. Thats what boro did. Im gunna give them a lot of credit Edited August 13, 2014 by pukka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that happened too in the home friendlies, Melbourne and Huddersfield as I recollect, are we giving teams too much respect from the kick off?

Chorlton_Latic Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Why don't we try this? I'm shuddering at just the mere thought of how this would play with the 2 fully fledged members of the 'Gerrit Forward!!!' brigade who sit behind me.

I assume you must sit near me. "Shoot" is all we hear, Poor old JCH if facing the wrong way, 5 defenders on his case, oh and he lost the ball 5 seconds ago!!!

BP1960 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) I notice some clubs are now banning the use of mobile phones, tablets, and ipods in the pre match dressing room, perhaps in the hope the players will concentrate on the managers instructions.

Seriously though they don't need banning for that purpose if a player wasn't listening to me because he was on his phone etc. He'd get to hear a lot more from me sitting next to me on the bench. Listening to someone else when speaking is a common courtesy, when it's your boss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
