I had a feeling this is why ivanovic tucks in close to the centerbacks, Willian comes back like a rightback and hazard stays higher than the other winger. stroey and jocke_gbg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! HD3D 1,038 Posted March 7, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted March 7, 2015 Professional players in the PL would rather play for Mourinho than Guardiola or Wenger From the article: FourFourTwo magazine have conducted an anonymous survey with professional players from across the Premier League, the Football League and the Scottish Premier League, asking them about a range of football issues. One of the questions asked the players to name their ideal manager - and there was a runaway winner. (...) As one League One player says: "Players play for Mourinho. Look what he did at Inter. Players would run through walls for him. That's 99% of winning." Reddish-Blue, 11Drogba, nachikethas and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Sherwood, he may be limited as a coach/tactician but he fires people up. He almost has a WUM approach to management.

hjperdeath 2,226 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Your analysis would be great if it wasn't completely irrelevant to the point and misleading.Every single one of those players you mentioned were promoted from the Munich academy and none of them were experienced and fairly established youngsters bought for decent money like Salah and Zouma.The likes of Hojbjerg and Weiser are essentially the Chelsea equivalent of John swift and RLC and in this case, they were still giving more playing time overall than our youngsters. This despite the fact that Bayern have the deepest and strongest squad in Europe over the last 3 years.And to the most important point, Guardiola was used as a benchmark for managers who are pioneers of promoting and developing youngsters due to his body of work at Barca were he turned players like Busquets (he basically sold Toure to accomodate him) Pique,Pedro, from mere la masia youth players to world class or very good players in Pedro's case and also gave players like Thiago,Bojan, tello,Cuenca et al plenty of game time.Using fairly experienced players that were bought for decent money like zouma,Salah et al to illustrate Jose's tendency or lackthereof to promote and develop youth is very daft indeed. if that;s the case you will also have to include the likes of Gotze,Alcantara,Shaqiri et al in your analysis but then it wouldn't suit your agenda/argument, would it.A friend of mine looked over that.Lukas Raeder was stolen away from Schalke? Pierre Hojbjerg came from BrondbyMitchell Weiser came from KolnOut of the two I haven't mentioned, I'm surprised Gaudino hasn't got a lot of chances. Seen him personally play here, lot of potential.also the fairly experienced youngster's idea seems rather flawed. Salah and Zouma were fairly experienced youngsters in the Swiss and French League, that doesn't translate efficiently to the Premier League does it?

Laugh1ngMan 393 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Which is sometimes all a Club needs. I like Sherwood, he may be limited as a coach/tactician but he fires people up. He almost has a WUM approach to management. You may like it or you may not but if its all a team needs why spend any money on a coach and not just hire a passionate fan who will do it gladly for free.He's just way over the top for me, and if i was a player the positive effect of it would very quickly turn into irritation since like you said he brings very little else.It's all flash and no substance imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He almost has a WUM approach to management. True but that 'fire up players/instill the passion' approach isn't going to get one far, especially when in Sherwood's case, he doesn't even have the tactical nous to back that up. He's almost the typical English coach - plenty of huff and puff but no genuine substance to go along with it. Tomo and 11Drogba 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most managers have passion and live for the game but the more successful ones, be it at the top club or even the middle ones, marry passion with tactical nous. Sherwood looks short of the latter in his managerial career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like players to understand that, if one goes forward, the other one tucks in for them. I don't want someone who just sits in front of the back four and doesn't go anywhere but that's just my own personal view."I was saying to William Gallas when he was here: The worst thing that happened in this league was Claude Makelele."When he came into this country [to Chelsea in 2003] he wasn't a holding midfield player. He was a player who had the intelligence to say: 'Frank [Lampard], you can score more goals than me so, if you go, I'm going to tuck in here for you and I'll hold. You keep going forward.'"Then everyone went 'right, we've got to have a holding midfield player' and what we've done is produce a crop of players who don't want to go over the halfway line, who don't want to pass over the halfway line and are happy to just sit in front of the back four.""Do Man City play with one? They've still scored 100-odd goals," he observed. "People say Yaya Toure is a holding midfielder. No he isn't, he's getting forward and getting goals - but, if someone else goes, he'll stay in there."Fernandinho's scoring goals. Why? Because he's a holding player? No. They've just got an understanding: 'If he goes, I'll hold, and, if I go, he'll hold'." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
