Not exactly, the desire for any form of entertaining football more like. Results were decent this season but you honestly can't say you watched every game and enjoyed it? Even the last game.ofnthe season we were all sitting there just waiting for the trophy and get the shit game out of the way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gazza M Posted 31 May Popular Post Share Posted 31 May I desire a manager who can read a situation and adjust tactically, so if that involves a lump up front for 30 mins and going direct, so be it. Not a stubborn mule who insist on just one way of playing like Teflon Brendan and Pound Land Pep. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 31 May Share Posted 31 May I was actually dreading this season with him setting us up to get slaughtered. Important thing is now that we get the new manager in, let them shape the squad the best they can (loans could be vital this season wink wink Enzo) and plan meticulously for a very tough season. Earlier the new manager is in the better, nightmare scenario would be them joining late 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s crucial we have the best fit possible from the small number of candidates that will want to start a season with a point deficit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adejo92 Posted 31 May Share Posted 31 May (edited) I remember going to the Northampton friendly and thinking wow, this is an awful watch. Put it down to being a friendly but unfortunately, whilst the results were there a lot of the time, it remained an awful watch throughout.

coolhandfox Posted 31 May Share Posted 31 May Alway liked a man of principle. Enzo spend weeks tell LCFC how they should work off the field and how they should be structured. To going to Chelsea were he'll have little impute on anything other then coaching the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, reckon playing as we did last season with no change in system would have seen us easily undone. Would we have changed? Who knows Doesn`t matter now!!

majaco Posted 31 May Share Posted 31 May I didn't want him to go. I don't know why. I was bored watching some of our games. The inverted rb was becoming annoying; it became wonder goal from the left practice for opponents. But he won the league and the players liked him. But he's gone.

For some reason I was thinking of Leuven away when we looked an utter shambles at the back and in goal. The season played out exactly like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be for the best You make a good point about the inverted right back. It's yet another example of why the bullshit philosophy don't work. It was supposed to give more protection to us in the transition. It made it so easy for the likes of even Millwall and Plymouth to defend against the Wingers too because there was no overlapping wing back. Give me a Klopp type gegenpress anyday. Even he started to try the inverted bullshit in the end to accommodate TAA's lack of defensive ability and the Liverpool fans were slating it.

I don’t think it’s bullshit, just quite hard to get right and needs players to be near perfect all the time. It’s gives overloads in midfield when it works, it’s like having the GK become an extra CB, it allows overloads. It is such a Pep ploy to seek overloads all over the place, it was hardly surprising that Enzo nailed his colours to that particular flag. Struggle to be too critical of him as we won the league albeit eventually after somewhat of a meal of it, but then it turned around. Anyway, he is gone and just hope we get someone who is different than we have seen before, because as tedious as it could become until Enzo, I also would prefer personally not to revert to times gone previously and innovate a bit.

cropstonfox Posted 31 May Share Posted 31 May Good riddance.The players won the league despite him and his bullshit boring style. Good job Jamie rallied them over the line by telling them to mix it up bit and move the ball forward more quickly at times. We would have been humiliated playing enzo ball in the Premier league and being caught in possession in critical areas. When he gets found out at Chelsea it will be back to putting out cones and handing out water bottles for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was based around the same principles, the difference is Enzo executed it better, as i've said numerous times, I somewhat enjoyed it, there was a reason for it in the Championship and I understood that and this is coming from someone who despises possession based football and playing out from that back but it was the same principles, ideologies and he wouldn't change when it clearly needed changing - So much so he was publicly disappointed when we won 5-0 with our best performance of the season....WBA under Rodgers ring any bells....Red flags everywhere. The coming season in the Premier League would have been ****ing disgusting and awful and there would be no reason to play like it. I predict pmcla26 laughs at this.
