Egghead has half baked plans- when it comes to the detail/ nitty gritty, he is bereft of ideas.
An embarrassment.
very interesting how the media'experts' used to speak about the Eggman with a degree of respect etc, but that has completely dried up.

You should always play to your strengths. With a bloke like Heskey on the books we should be playing 4-4-2 on principle otherwise we should never have signed him. Get 2 strikers in there to give our opponent an issue. Not allow our opponent to get one of their CD's to man mark Heskey and then allow the other bloke spare to mop up anything his mate can't deal with.Originally Posted by Raw Boned Youngster
Get Taggz and Heskey together so they can't play a spare man without changing their structure.
Play wingers and whip the ****ing crosses in all day and allow our opponents to try and hold off Heskey and Taggz sniffing around for scraps
Anything else is just ****ing insane
He also went on to say that the Barcelona style of play required the likes of Messi, Iniesta, eta al.... who could pretty much play any style they desired given their skill level.
And once players had made it to A-league if they couldn't already play that style of football then they were never going to be able to play that way. [Summary of Dando's comments in my words]
Moreover, Dando also commented [ and rightly so] that Barcelona's style had been figured out by other / lesser clubs and though cutting in the past - the game had since moved on to something new[ My words not Dando's].
With respect to people thinking Brisbane can play out from the back have a look at their failed ACL campaigns where their style of football was a complete failure against quality opposition.
What has irked me about a lot of the criticism is that it has called for us the lurch to the other extreme and start practising some kind of fxxxed up anti-football system where we return to the good old days of players booting it from box-to-box.
In case people hadn't noticed, the A-League has been dominated by coaches who play a decent style of football for some time now. Ange, Popovic, Arnold, Lavicka, all these coaches have play to a system which is fundamentally based on sharp passing and controlling possession. If we go down the path of a Kosmina, Mitchell, Herbert, Culina, we're still not going to win AND we won't even have the satisfaction of saying we should have won.
We must be watching different games. WSW play very direct counter-attack style football. They were aids without Hersi for that very reason last season
This (again, Dunster bringing the knowledge).
No one complained when Man United won all those trophies playing like that either.
Style shmyle just win ffs, or start by scoring a farking goal. Style.... Gee whizz
One of the news articles after that snorefest was "Players gain confidence from first clean sheet of the season".
Watch us lose 6-1 in NZ and the news be "Players gain confidence from first goal in 6 hours of competitive football".
Surely we could demote him to look over the emerging jets program and employ a new manager???
Technically not sacking him no payout needed.
Then he could be working where his passions lie
yeah look how well that worked out for Adelaide, he's not going away any time soon, on the bright side only what 25 more games till GVE's contract is up unless he's given another extension.
is it really any wonder we can't construct attacking play look at the youth aus teams since his appointment at the AIS they share a remarkable resemblance to the shambles that is the jets these days.
On the bright side, by seasons end GVE would have well and truly killed off any reputation and standing he had in the game.
100/1 and blow'n like a southerly to get a first team gig in this league ever again.
Who would want such a arrogent,tactically one dimensional squad divisive character such as his around there club.
Maybe get a gig selling soft drinks on gameday at another club, that was always his forte not coaching.
Wish Con was still here now.
When GVE resigned last time he walked into Con's office and was told (apparently)...."go sit in the corner, that's what I say to my other dogs"....
So wish this was true !
Have to give the bloke some credit. 5 games into the season we are going a bit better than I expected us to be going.
Still feel the last 2 weeks he has been far too conservative when 2-0 up not pushing hard enough for the 3rd goal.
The decision to take Tagz off for a almost lame Heskey when Adelaide had gone to a back 3 was baffling. Thought we should have sacrificed a mid and played a front two to push the Reds back having to deal with Heskeytime and Tagz sniffing around.
Against Gypos we threw it away by not having a lash at a 3rd hard enough as the Gypos left plenty of space yet no one wanted to push on in attack hard enough
So has the Mark Rudan getting offered an interview news reached the general public yet?
Someone told me about it today don't know where they heard it but why the **** not hey.
Gotta go, someone needs to bump the Middleby out thread.
**** me, we go from GvE to a bloke to has no ****ing experience managing at A-League level! Look at Aloisi, isn't he going well!
Would much rather keep GvE than have Mark ****ing Rudan as our manager.

Just won the NPL.
When GvE leaves, as he one day will, I'd much rather us for someone like rudan than some unknown OS bloke.
Aloisi went from paying to the top gig too quickly.
Rudan is doing his apprentice work atthe moment, he'd be a good option IMO.
As if we could afford some unknown overseas bloke.
Craig Deans it will be
Forza Okon etc

He may have just won the NPL, but lets be realistic here, Sydney United always were going to. It's not as though Rudan had coached Adamstown and won it. I'm quite happy to predict now that for the next 10 years, 75+% of the winners of the NPL will be either coming from NSW, or Victoria if they get their shit together.
Why not Papas, who is doing is coaching the u/23s national team in India? Wasn't he meant to be the next big coach? Or maybe one of our former players, bar Deans, rather than a former Sydney captain?
Agree about Aloisi. And if we're looking at NSWPL managers, George Mandic had a good season with Bonnyrigg, or how about Jean-Paul de Marigny? Yes, United came 1st this season in the NSWPL, but I would much rather see how Rudan goes over a few more seasons before he gets mentioned. Lavicka won the GF in his first season, and fared poorly the next few.
