The Next Manager?

[Cosmin 2,484]

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.

We need to get Pep if Mou is going to Man U, because he would be motivated to shit on Mou's head by winning the title.

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

Why do we even need a new manager?

I say let's just skip this whole process, at the end the players always call the shots. Let them relegate themselves.

Pep doesn't go to joke football clubs. He'll go to Man City because they're properly run and he'll get the support he needs.

Simeone is the best choice but with Roman still in charge, he'll last a few seasons before we sack him and completely change things again.

I'd happily have Simeone IF Koké is the first "must buy" he targets and brings with him.

Wouldn't the language barrier be a serious issue, though? It doesn't matter too much when it comes to talking to the press as we've seen the likes of Pochettino use a translated for that stuff, but would he be able to communicate well enough players like Hazard etc?

Course it can. If a team sits deep you press them high, win the ball back as high as you can. Counter attack doesn't mean sit back and wait for a mistake. Dort mundane, the United of old didn't do that.

Is arsenal's possession football as boring as Bayern passing to death?
