About as clueless as it gets. To sum up his tactical philosophy; Park the bus and hope for a moment of magic. That might of worked against St. Mirren, but it's not gonna cut it in the Championship never mind PL.
How would we set up in an Emery 442?
I suppose Buendia could play on the right and Bailey on left, JJ could probably also play as a wide midfielder. The problem would be Coutinho, I suppose we could play 4411 with Coutinho behind the striker.
Agreed, it wouldn't be a wow signing for me, but he could at least get basic coaching right and would put us in a much better position to attract a better coach in a few seasons.
I would take just about anybody right now.
Emery would be an interesting choice; he might feel he has unfinished business in the PL, and he loves a 442.
Smith did the same against Southampton before he got sacked, Watkins, Archer and Davis all on for one last throw of the dice. Maybe Gerrard knows the writing is on the wall.
Just had a wee look at one of their forums, and in their match thread they seem up for this one.
I'd imagine their stadium will be packed and bouncing, this will not be an easy game, we know most of our players cave under the slightest bit of pressure. If they take an early lead what is our gameplan?
He's not that highly rated, he's only managed mid-table or lower league Italian teams until he was hired by Shakhtar Donetsk.
I didn't say we couldn't attract a better quality of manager.
Such as?
Has anyone thought that maybe we have contacted some managers, but they aren't interested? There is no point sacking Gerrard unless we have someone lined up.
