He likes long walks on the beach, the smell of freshly cut grass and controversially, he was not a fan of Peter Jackson's interpretation of Lord of the rings.

It was one, two touch most and pass was supposed to be the plan. Maresca already has shown he likes his players to carry it. Wingers beating their man 1 V 1, midfielders surging through the park - even Winks off the leash to go charging up the middle. Think Tete and Under would both have really thrived with Maresca which is a little sad. Not sure it was me but I do have the same opinion and agree. There's an art (a simple one?) to possession football and it's not just pass, pass, pass. It's about the off-the-ball movement as much as what you do with it. And structured movement, not just players running about for the sake of it. So many of our impatient fans want the ball to just be pumped up, but even for 5 minutes I'd love for such fans that sit near me just watch some of the movement off the ball by players to make space for the wingers. It's timing, accuracy, positioning that all come in to the tactics. Maresca seems more of a master of it within a couple of months than Rodgers was at it for several. Maresca seems able to make this work (even if it is a bit rough round the edges for now) with slight tweaks against varying types of opposition with players that aren't even playing in their natural positions and still learning. Rodgers was just stubborn enough to try it against every opposition in the hope that it would click - it did vs Villa away and Spurs at home, but very rarely did he change which was so frustrating. Anyway, enough about the notepad lover and constant clapper. Viva Maresca! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Tete and Under would both have really thrived with Maresca which is a little sad. We just jest with @Ric Flair on how wrong he got it on Tete but in fairness Rodgers hampered the decent players we had with his style. Tete should have been a nuisance but Rogers took that Brazilian flair away from us. When he was shouting at Alves 3 touches, yes fck off Rogers you Berkshire Hunt. So hopefully these additions and possibly including Abdul Fatawu Issahaku we'll see tricky driving runs that these player's have been bought to play. Get more players in the box and we'll have better success against deep blocks. Especially back end of matches.

jayfox26 Posted 25 August 2023 Share Posted 25 August 2023 Does make sense to have a loan with an option. We can bin him off if he's crap like we did with Under and Tete. Hopefully the club have learnt lessons about splurging on players that end up not being good enough, Soumare, Daka, Silva, Slimani just to name a few 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gala must think tete is better. Tete has an extremely good track record in domestic football. The one blip on his career is a loan spell at a relegation threatened club with a manager that didn't appear to want him. People really need to get it in to their heads that he's a much better footballer than we saw in a few months here. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tete may have looked to us like the worst Brazilian since Stevie Wonder's wife let him have a go with the Immac, but he could have thrived in a decent system. It may also be that they consider Tete more suited to their system than Akgun. Edited 25 August 2023 by Bilo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
