Who knows in answer to your questions. However if he had a fitness plan for pre season he hasn't stuck to it. The coaching staff probably know and are presumably ok with it. It's not all about abs and speed. Experience and nous go a long way, especially at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I count myself in the majority and although slightly concerned at our slow start I'm not panicking just yet - a few changes in personnel and system before we have a team to judge I think.

That's it. We've finally had a settled summer and we've still not capitalised on it. The whole keeper situation was a farce, and we began with an inadequate midfield and shite tactics which I could've told you wouldn't work 4 months ago. Got faith that Shez will sort it out, of course, but it's right to point out how poor the first couple of performances have been. Don't think I've seen us string 5 passes together in the 180 minutes I've seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boundaryblue80 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) While I agree with the 2 games thing being early to judge on....the comment about "gelling" doesn't wash so much this season. All summer folk have said about us having momentum. And it being a good that we can hit the ground running with the squad barely changing much from Shez's playoff form side from Jan to April. I think 9 of the 11 starting on Saturday ended last season here. Of course you can factor pre-season rustiness into it etc. Nobody is calling for any heads. The so-called inquisition is debating whether the same players we already know will carry on doing what we already know about them. I don't think now is the time to be dropping Gerrard but I have my suspicions over the current CB pairing working. And Gerrard has been poor to average in those 2 games. There's nothing wrong with discussing that.

"Gelling" is probably the wrong term. But, if he's trying to get them to play differently to last season, it's not unreasonable for it to maybe take some time for the new tactics to start to produce the goals and/or results he expects. Like most (I think) I'd much rather it all just clicked from the off, but.... Edited August 11, 2017 by HarryBosch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Apparently there was also an overheard conversation. Gerrard has lost weight, I think everyone was a bit complacent and this contributed to the slow start. They know now that it is going to be another long hard season whichever end of the table they are so I expect better tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
