f%$k yeah 60.6% possession
It's the one size fits all situations tactics that kills us. As others have said when the opposition sit back and stay compact we don't have a hope in hell of scoring a goal.
Gary has no plan B. For him it is a blind game of chess.
I can see why we didn't want to sign Marcos Flores. 15 minutes in and he's already played 2 killer passes and almost scored off a free kick.
ffs.
doesnt have good engines etcQuote:

Pretty sure Rado does all the tactical stuff at SydneyQuote:

I can respect what he's trying to do. I 100% agree with his philosophy, but for whatever reason the implementation of said philosophy has gone terribly wrong, and after two seasons of shit results I can't see that changing.
Tbh I always saw Militia on par with how Robbie Middleby thought. As in, the moment that Militia came around to realizing how bad GVE was, that's when I thought RM would do similar. Let's hope I was right, we could see GVE out by COB todayQuote:

I don't think there is any doubt that if the funds were available GVE would be gone by now. RM can spin it any way he likes but that is the reason.
I also think in parts to get rid of GVE early would be an admission that bringing back GVE and then extending him by an additional season was a complete and utter balls up, another RM would have been a party to.
IMO GVE is coaching to save two careers at the club , himself and RM's. RM has presided over to many poor decisions and wasted plenty of money on the back of those decisions.
That's just not true. Thinking like that will stop the development of the league.Quote:

If that's a direct quote then Dando's an idiot.Quote:

how is he wrong though? these blokes simply aren't good enough.Quote:

Because he didn't say "Newcastle are shit and should not play from the back", he said "unless you are in the EPL or La Liga you shouldn't play from the back".Quote:

Your striker keeps getting isolated and as a result the attack is breaking down. Might be wise to use a 2nd striker. Your midfield is getting dominated into submission, might be best to to play with two no nonsense holding mids and three at the back.
All we see with GVE is the same shit every week, deflecting blame on others who "just don't get it" Hell even an old fashion 4-2-4, playing it wide/long down the flanks with pacemen crossing it might even work.
