hoopLA: This is false. Both were Team B coaches of Barca and Real respectively for years. They cut their teeth in management before answering the call to the senior sides.
Mr. Analyst,learn to tell the truth instead of coloring facts to suit your narratives. All this Complete sports analysis won't carry you anywhere.
All the prominent coaches today and in the past began their coaching career at lower leagues.
elrony: Elampawa!!! No vex abeg, DNA don do us something na why
Apart from this season, Ole played better football than Moyes, Gaal and Mourinho. These three coaches made us looked like Kano Pillars and Okomu oil on the field of play. It was the experienced of the players that helped them. Fellaini'a height with his chest control and heading ability played a role. Then Valencia and Young tenacity. Herra's hardwork. But we did not play real interesting football until Ole. This season was just unfortunate. This happened even to Mourinho at Chelsea on his second term.
The hype and ovation that come with appointment of a new coach don't freak me anymore. Until they come and give consistent performance which becomes permanent.
When Gaal was appointed, everyone was shouting 'philisophy'. But at the end, 'philosophy' was a mocking word. It became a source of mental torture to our players that they hated training.
I made a comment about Carrick last night, some people were insulting me. One even said thunder fire you. Sorry, I am not in your level and I will not bring myself to that level of wrestling with a pig in the mud
raumdeuter: I agree with you, what else do they want from Carrick Villareal Chelsea Arsenal no loss
These are difficult teams to play against. Mostly Chelsea that is the European champions.
Some people are thinking of coaches with 500 years experience. Some of these coaches have old school tactics. May be we can hire Arsene Wenger.
Coaches like Zidane and Guardiola did not have experience, they had it in their minds how football should be played. Teaching techniques to players, movements, quality passes between lines. Yesterday, I didn't know it was Carrick who was in charge until second half. I have been busy, so I could not follow up. I thought Gheghen master had arrived. The movement I saw in the second half yesterday was beautiful.
We have had Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho. All celebrated here on nairaland when they were signed. But at the end, those who mostly celebrated them when they were appointed wanted to stone them before they left
ChristoBam: Ole freestyled with the already laid down structure by Mourinho. Gave them freedom immediately he was hired till he got the permanent job. Everything he did depends on the opponents he was to face. The more we went away from Mourinho's time and added more new players, the more the structure got worse.
Same with Lampard that came in after sarri. Same style and system. And everything went to the dogs due to the same reason.
We also did not have a pattern under Mourinho. We also tried to bike after we had conceded. Otherwise we were parking bus from 1st minute even against league bottom teams
elrony: I don't see any reason for the lamentations, Boko Haram football was the only way today, considering how shitty we have been and the form of the opponent we were playing.
Na Damage control sure pass while we hope the new manager gets us to function as a team.
Assumig we lost 5-0 now, we for dey cry.
In today's match, the draw is actually a loss to Chelsea. This was like United of 2008 drawing Chelsea in a match, it looked like a loss
Ole tried to play a pattern by using technical players. The reason he quickly retired Valencia and co. But Ole appeared to know one pattern which had been studied by other teams during the Summer break. On his part, he didn't appear to have studied any of the other teams.
Carrick seems to read the opposition style of play, looking at strengths and weaknesses. Then think about how to confront the game, and which players are right for the game.
eph12: Sacho can't pass unless Mendy commits. Rashford best move was to stay onside no matter what
When you stay leveled and you anticipate a pass, you tend to move faster. But when the pass is not made, you tuck in again. This time around, the circumstance didn't give room for Rashford to tuck-in (level again)
eph12: Thank goodness Sancho went for it by himself. When I see a lot of things happening on the pitch, the choices the players make when with and without the ball, I just know that this will be the biggest challenge for any new coach they bring in
Rashford was offside because Sancho delayed the pass. If Rashford stayed leveled, he wold have been closed down by Chelsea defenders. Watch the video from 5' mark.
nitrogen: Yours is always pawa. You have never supported any intelligent player on this thread. Your favourites are McTom, Fred, and Jones.
I should stop quoting you.
Clap for yourself. I thought you argued that Ronaldo is power, physicality and pace?
For your info, there is no need to argue about a good player. Do you see me criticizing Bruno? HAVE I criticized Sanchez? But when you are technical and too indomie, I will not support you.
eph12: Champions league have been won this way. I am very sure you praised Mourinho for this years ago when he won his champions league this way. We could go on and on.
nitrogen: Does this even make sense to you? Stoke City’s striker will anyway expect one or two services in every game, but man utd strikers should not expect service in some games.
You guys are just impossible!
A stoke city striker will not be so anonymous in pressing, tackling, chasing, involving in build-up play. Today, Ronaldo was a short one player. We would have done ourselves a favour if we played Sancho for 90 minutes. Every game is different.
It think McTomiay is unjustly criticized here. I saw many times that if not he raced back, we would have been dealt with severely from the left back. Just showing up prevented Chelsea from smooth build up in some instances. In a particular instance, he must have had the speed of Usain Bolt to have been able to return so fast to shield the left back
It is not every game you get service. No one was going to get service today. What was needed today was that everyone covers lots of ground. Carry the ball and run some ground forward. So Ronaldo was not needed. We were never going to open Chelsea up with a build-up play when we have no coach.
Ronaldo might chop bench with the new coach, except there is a new style that can favour him. This game is too physical and fast paced for a 36 years old
Bissaka needed to do two to beat one with Bruno, as Bruno gave him the pass, he could not do a simple one time short pass, and we lost the ball in the final third. Chelsea attacked with it and that was how the penalty came about eventually
