If we haven’t won at least a throw in within the first 10 minutes at The Amex I want them both out. That going to be difficult considering we’re playing Brighton at home 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have just brought him in for Smith if that was the case Lerner wanted Klinnsmann after 2006 WC when anyone who knew anything about German national team knew that Loew was the brains and Klinnsmann was just the face/voice.

Stoobs Posted November 9, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Keener window-cleaner said: Sorry if this has been discussed earlier in the thread, but what formation does Gerrard normally play at Rangers? Always 4-3-3. Midfield very narrow. Full backs pushed on where their deliveries are incredible. Focal point is Morelos up front with two other forward players interchangeable. When opposing team on ball, the two front players work like trojans to help out midfield the regain ball. Think Liverpool set up with slightly less talented individuals. Home and away. Even European away games against Benfica, Porto etc, they set up this way. I always think they dominate ball and are very hard to play through as the midfield three is so compact and tight. To me, the real star in that three is Kamara. Said it before, this guy is a star. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance I'll be handing out tokens. Just finalising the contract with a manufacturer and I'll have them ready to go by Friday. In the meanwhile you'll just have to use your initiative I'm afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favre popping up at the back post tomorrow? I can only hope Could have been a line to try and engineer our actual targets too. The media aren’t as clued up as they think. Unless the leaks are from Gerrard’s camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Fergie changed coaches quite frequently, I don’t think any of the coaches went on to really do any good as managers. It’s a different mind set.

Wezbid Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 If he's in, hopefully he'll be judged on what he's doing here. Surely that's only fair. As much as I'd rather go for someone like Farve, Emery etc, managers with good reps have failed. He could be propped up falsely in a poor league or he could just click with us like Moyes has at West Ham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 5 hours ago, Rugeley Villa said: Not sure if he was in contention but he certainly distanced himself from the Newcastle job. Why would he do that and then consider Villa? Not saying we are a step down from Newcastle because we certainly aren’t. Both big historic clubs, big support , plenty of potential and money . Why maybe us and not them. Toon are in serious threat of relegation. We are a step above that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
