The Next Manager?


 Share

Recommended Posts

I'm a bit surprised that Hiddink is still doing his due diligence (good for him). But, I always thought that he and Roman were quite close, so I'm surprised that this wasn't all lined up before Jose was sacked.

You can't blame Hiddink for taking his time, the club is 1 point off relegation, most of the first team players aren't performing and the January window is in roughly 2 weeks.

I'm interested to see whether we buy anyone in January as that player would have to fit the style of the new manager next season..

I don't blame him at all. I'm just surprised that this wasn't entirely lined up before firing Jose.

Try and take some time to watch of Atletico's game in the coming weeks, if you already haven't mate. What you will see is not just a great togetherness but a huge understanding of tactical balance with a great idea of blending attack with a really solid work ethic and attitude. I love watching Atleti over any of the other top boys in La Liga, they play with such a dynamic approach and one that isn't predictable but very, very efficient.

I have huge respect for Simeone.

Thanks for the reply. From what you say, I see there are some Jose components in his approach. I hope he's not too much like him when it comes to tactics... if he comes to us

'Counter Attacking' has been so clichéd, its so annoying. Isn't it too dependent on situations to be considered as a main strategy? Especially for big teams? How do you counter attack teams that don't want to attack you in the first place?

By giving up possession and drawing them out, often targeting specific positions within their team and overloading that area when they are out of position.

I can't agree with you on this one, mate. You can't give up possession when you are Chelsea and play West Ham or Bournemouth at the Bridge. It might win you the game by 1-0, but that's just a shameful thing to do. I understand the use of the counter attacking strategy when you are weaker than your opponent and you need to get a result. Like it was with us against Barcelona or Bayern. But your main strategy, as a big team, can never be counter attack.

I don't think there's any shame in having a number of strategies in your locker. Of course you should have faith in your players to break a team down but defences are better organised than ever even at the so-called weaker teams and this league is more competitive than ever. If you can exploit a team when they're in transition then why not do that? All the goals count the same.

I dont see how so many think Simeone would be the best option. The way he sees football is very similar to Mourinho. I think we need a more flair manager right now.

No,Simeone is different to Mourinho just watch ATM play,the like to pressure,they play more attacking and they know how to defend againts big clubs when they need to.Players that play for Simeone have desire,power and they fight for the win but both Mourinho and Simeone like to defend.

Their main difference I think is that Simeone has more faith in young players than Jose does.
