We're not though. Gerrard's team had far more overlap from the full backs and the midfield playing narrower.

I'm not saying it was better but it wasn't the same.

 

Full backs would bomb on. 

The 2 wide centre mids would be carrileros covering for them.

The 2 wide attackers would tuck in and be 10s.

Nah gerrard played 3 sitting mids at home always

And given our two fullbacks got assists today, your post looks pretty wide of the mark

The three sitting mids spent a fair percentage of their time covering for Tav and Borna.

Theres passing between your backline and then theres the horseshoe. The full backs were never in a position to be a horseshoe under Gerrard.

No they weren't, they were our only outlay and teams sussed that quickly to the point we were fucking honking most games

Not nearly as much no.

Now it's more likely to be whomever is playing wide midfield tracking back who covers whenever the fullback overlaps them.

Can we cross reference those who are complaining with the football played, with those who want renowned long ball 4-4-2 nearly no goals from open play Sean Dyche to replace Gio?

[scottyc06 6,927]

@Jimbeamjunior Totally doubling down that what we’re doing doesn’t work and in his opinion hasn’t worked since Gerrard yet wants to continue with a manager who has already said he won’t change it and has the stubbornness he displayed at Feyenoord to back that up! 
 

Wtf?

Because what good will any manager do when the current players are the issue

Unless we wipe the slate clean and start again, we'll have the same shitebag attitude from the squad

I’d not want Dyche, I think knutsen is the way to go:

“Knutsen’s calling card is possession football, an aggressive press and getting the best out of players on a small budget.

His preferred formation is 4-3-3 and his style has been compared to Jurgen Klopp’s gegenpress. Knutsen wants his team to win the ball as quickly as possible, make the pitch wide and exploit spaces with lighting quick attacks. 

You will not see many sideways or backwards passes from a Kjetil Knutsen led Brighton of the sort that would often frustrate the Amex crowd under Potter.

Knutsen places a strong emphasis on the mental side of the game. He appointed a former Norwegian air force pilot to his coaching staff at Bodø/Glimt with the job title of mental health coach.”

I love how it always goes back to the old "Aye but it was shite with Gerrard and it was the same"

Pish

As poor as he is he got us a title and no cunt in the league beat us, we were not nauseating to watch and our full backs actually played to their attributes.

Gios football philosophy isn't working but he keeps with it. It's bogging

We were holding on, at home, against the bottom of the fucking league team who get pumped almost weekly. The scum put 9 past them ffs. Spare us the bs about missing sitters, we are utter dugmeat turgid and there's absolutely no way he's inspiring these players beyond mediocrity. 

Other teams trounce them, we hold on and sigh with relief at the final whistle.

Why did you only pick one of the 3.5 seasons gerrard had?

Its pretty fucking clear the title season was a fluke regarding these utter shitebag players

I mentioned earlier that they hadn't scored a league goal since 30th July. They are easily the worst team in the league this season and we made them look decent for big parts of the match including us hanging on for a narrow win in the last 10 minutes. 

As wins go it was a shit one.

 

 

 

[A.T.G 10,773]

If the board can’t see that it needs refreshed then we are fucked. 
 

I can’t see the same passion that Gerard installed in them anymore. It’s like they’ve got a European hangover from last season and can’t get hyped up for league games and aren’t good enough for Champions League. 
 

That’s a disastrous situation if it’s accurate

Ibrox was as toxic as I’ve ever heard under Gerrard, this forum, Twitter etc were all shouting out for Gerrard to be sacked. Trying to lie and make it sound is as everything was great because of one season is a riddy.

How is it a fluke not losing a single game in the league 😆 we get you hate him and for some bizarre strange reason adore Gio. Coming out with pish like that is taig porn, get a grip of yourself ffs.

You call the players shitebags yet the manager comes out with snippets like we can't compete, there's the biggest shitebag of the lot. 

We won't get a sniff of a domestic title under Gios shite, boring and uninspiring football, he STILL can't work out how to set up against sub standard SPL shite.

[molesmole 1,134]

The true marker for any good managers -is players improving.

Can anyone tell me a player we have that Gio has improved?  Maybe give you Sands at a stretch 

I can list 4-5 that have regressed. 

It's the tell tale sign.
