I'd take Poch, but absolutely no way he'd come here. His last job was managing Mbappe at PSG for god sake. Pochettino have said in interviews that he didn’t get to play his style of football at PSG. He likes to press from the front, but that wasn’t something he could ask Mbappe and Messi to do, so he had to compromise on his preferred style of football. If he comes here, he can play style of football he likes, and he will be backed by the owners, he could create his dream team. I’m sure it would be possible to sell this to him.

burchy Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I’d like Poch or Potter but truth be told would settle for anyone that has a game plan and style of play that is visible and adaptable to suit our opposition and current playing staff. I’d also like someone who can make a sub before 60 f’ing mins and the right ones at that, that actually change a game in our favour and not the sodding oppositions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Who would you say was our last manager to have a style of play and a game plan? I mean I don’t call giving Grealish the ball a style of play, game plan maybe but style of play no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Smith has tactical awareness and would pick different formations and styles based on the opposition. He had a reasonable record against the top teams, unlike Gerrard who I think got 1pt out of the top 6 last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to see who they would appoint next. Just can’t help but think it’d be Lambert all over again. I remember Lambert came in and we were playing progressive attacking football for like 10 games and it was all very exciting and we just regressed into defensive garbage. Tbf that might not all be his fault, but I just feel like managers join Villa and whatever game plan and success they had before we somehow always kill very quickly.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Gerrard has a game plan as well, it's just turned out to be a shit one for the most part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, they struggled for end product, but actually looked solid in most games, even when results didn’t go their way. You get the sense that Potter had a clear vision of what he was trying to achieve, and what signings would be needed to progress. And I think he is overachieving in relation to the resources at his disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think this is the same club that Lambert managed. A lot of stuff behind the scenes has been improved, and we have the budget to properly back managers in transfer windows. The irony is Gerrard is underperforming at a stable, well run club that is set up to be a decent Premier League side - although a lot of that depends on Purslow realising that he is not here for his football knowledge.

If Gerrard had come in and done what Snith did, everyone would have been raving about how great a manager he is. it fizzled out when we lost Grealish, but what he did was great. Our best manager in recent years, including MON. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Seen lots of people talk about how it went sour for pochettino at PSG. I wouldn’t say he can’t manage top players. Had plenty at Spurs. What i will say is that the more elite player you get, the less chance they’ll buy into or want to be tied into a system that negates their own ability. Harder to get them to work essentially. You’d often hear about it thrown around about how Bielsa could never get a “ top club “ Same thing. Terrific coach, but it’s no coincidence he gets the most out of the guy who has maybe decent / good ability but a manic desire to work and learn versus say a neymar or pogba. I’m not saying Kane, Eriksen, Son etc are not top - they are. When pochettino had them, they’d won nothing ( still haven’t ) so bought into his team ethos. He’d do well here but not attainable i feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
