Think we are losing sight of the true enemy..
The only true fans were the one of the 4,635 who were there on that terrible and fateful day in October 2006 when Newy went down 2-0 against Melbourne Victory and saw Theo fired and GVE placed into the Managers chair.Quote:

Nah, true fans were there when Durante had his leg broken before the A-League even kicked off.Quote:

No one shows more passion in goal celebrations. any bloke that has lost his beer or been knocked over will agree he is the definition of a true fan.
the only true fans are the ones who can remember the Miracle of Brisbane thread :wub: :brr: #lestweforget

So, serious question for a moment...
Isn't GVE trying to implement the 4-2-3-1 that the national team plays and he learnt whilst at the AIS? While there were a fair few long balls last night, the HUGE difference I noticed is that McKay and Wilkshire were almost always within makeable passing distance for our centre backs.
Maybe he should have stuck around at Lakes on Saturday because this is the formation Lakes played which totally frustrated the Jets Youth. Difference between what GVE is trying to do and what happened on Saturday is Turner could explain what he wanted and the players understood. Turner sold his team on the concept all GVE can sell is PepsiQuote:

And by saying all he can sell is Pepsi you are assuming he always achieved budget, You are to kind.
Comparing how the NT Play with GVE is a bit harsh.Quote:

Secondly the NT don't play the Dutch KNVB mantra 4-3-3 that has been swallowed hook line and sinker at FFA HQ
Thirdly our manager clearly has NFI what he is doing. See his continual omission of Kale yet he signs some hack who can't keep Dino Kressinger out of an HAL starting side

Love it!!! and all the headless coaches follow along like manna has arrived from (Dutch) heaven with the answers to how football is now played.
Not sure what your point is. I am saying that a 4-2-3-1 like the NT played would work nicely if we implemented it the same way. But no, GVE prefers to play the 2-2-6 which means we are always found out on the counter.Quote:

We are found out on the counter as we don't have the players with the skill sets to keep the ball. We also have a problem in that our CM's rarely cover the CB's. We also have a problem as we don't move off the ball. Our idea of movement is to stand still in spaceQuote:

If you had a Manager with intelligence and no ego they would do things as you suggested.
If you were an arrogant pigheaded my way or the highway type of guy you would keep banging your head against the wall trying to break through as we do.
I feel as if we are arguing the same point which is the title of this thread. :gent:Quote:
