I actually don't like the way we're set up at the moment, so hopefully a new coach will come with some new ideas. *Cough* 4-2-3-1 *Cough* 3-4-2-1 *Cough* We've actually got the personnel to play these very effectively imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player pull and pashun are his key attributes. We need a replacement for Beale asap. Beale has been there the whole time as well though. Far too much emphasis being put on his importance imo. Gerrard will get a replacement no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lange will surely have an input on who comes in. He obviously can't force a coach on Gerrard but he'll be pushing for someone who will help realise the club's (and his) investment in Bailey and Traore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a new man in for pre season Wouldnt suprise me if he tried get carragher on board although why would he leave his comfy job at sky Why would anybody hire Carragher as a coach.

AntrimBlack Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I have mentioned a number of times on the post match threads the lack of cohesion in our team and that it surely was a coaching issue. Beale moving on might be just what we need. I always felt that Beale had almost too big a role and was leading Gerrard by the nose. Whichever way you look at it, 14th is extremely unimpressive. I look forward to better performances with some top players under a new coaching set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 No doubt we will get a few quid in compensation too, I assume Beale will take some of the backroom team with him too. It will be really interesting to see who we replace him with as it will give us a clear indication on the style of play to be implemented. I would like to see a real surprise appointment, maybe from a European team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume the bloke very much wants his own identity. Edited May 31, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Xabi Alonso sounds like a decent option from those I've seen suggested, in terms of probable fit, ease of settling in, and ability to communicate with our Spanish speaking contingent in their first language. He learnt German in 2 months too so could probably pick up Portuguese too? Seems to have got decent results as head coach for a B team, and presumably will have been through the same course of badges and qualifications that Gerrard did and hence will have the latest methods and teachings to refer to. Just lacks in the experience side I think, and I'd ideally like someone who SG can turn to for a different and more experienced view when he needs inspiration.

Delphinho123 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I know there is absolutely no links whatsoever, but somebody like Xabi Alonso would be fun. Imagine Gerrard and Alonso turning up to your house if you're thinking of signing... It'll be interesting to see what we do here. I can see Gerrard raiding Liverpool or people he knows for the next hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catanzaro Posted May 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2022 I trust Gerrard to know what good coaching looks like.. So I feel ok about him getting the right person for the team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd say he has aspirations to stay in management, so can't see him coming to be number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
