bcfcredandwhite Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 We have to lose another 7 games in a row to equal the worst run under LJ. He didn’t get sacked then when relegation was a real possibility, so he won’t be now with the playoffs a real possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo1111 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I reckon he will go in the summer if this goes on. The dour football will see season ticket sales bomb and that will be the trigger. We can’t go down from here. Famous last words so no way lansdown will pull the trigger mid season.

I'm not suggesting that we play great football- not moaning about Millwall either., Just making the point that IF fans want Rowett, they should know that it wouldn't be a 4-3-3, impressive passing and high press that they would be getting, most likely. His football has some merit in places- back 3 suggests he maybe changing a bit, uses some width, some reasonably individually skilful players but he wouldn't IMO be seeking to bring to name three recent examples, Bielsa, Jokanovic or Nuno ball to AG! Or Wilder, Farke or possibly even Wagner. P[us of course our most recent opponents! Rowett is not necessarily from that school of football.

I often call us “football snobs”, Millwall played much more attractive football than us that night, playing 343. Rowett showed much more in-game nous than our head-coach on the night. And it wasn’t the typical Rowett team we associate with him or Millwall showing him in a good light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were better than the typical Millwall- they were, I mean that, clearly, but I still wonder- it's not a possession heavy game Rowettball, just generally isn't. Better than us certainly, despite less of the ball- depends what is defined as attractive football too...High pressing, high passing but certainly strong possession games Jokanovic, Bielsa, Frank and yes Smith though I think Brentford have a better balance under Frank, Wilder, Farke to name 6. Rowett? Not so sure. Oh and Potter of course- make that 7, he's showing it now at Brighton. Definitely much more in-game nous though, no doubt. A back 3 defintiely seems new for Rowett though- and credit to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A back 3, which also enables a front 3 and that movement which you cite (noty with all teams of course but with Millwall's personnel) seems to be a new development for him. Credit to him. Preston, they're a funny side. Massive gamesmanship at times as we know and can be quite defensive or conceding of the ball...but some very good individuals and yeah combinations such as that one.

pongo88 Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 When LJ goes, as he must because no manager stays forever, I’m sure his replacement will be a total surprise. Look at some of City’s recent managers - LJ, Cotts, McInness, Coppell, Millen, Tinnion etc. Their appointments were all a surprise to a varying degree.

Bit baffled about why too - our best teams have always been built on strength and determination rather than a particular style of play that defined us, let alone anything that prized aesthetics over results.

Top Robin Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 On 02/01/2020 at 16:47, AshtonRobin21 said: Believe a premier league assistant would be a good option. Some of these guys have experience of working with the top managers. Ljinders - Top assistant. Been given high praise at Liverpool and Klopp has previously stated that Ljinders is “the brain” at the club. John Terry - would be a bold choice but could be an attraction for a lot of players. Look at the quality Derby brought in on loan last season. Achieved promotion last season as part of the backtopm staff at villa. Steve Holland - not suggesting this one would be believable but he has a fantastic reputation in the game. Works alongside Southgate and surely would look to progress to management at some point in his career. The Liverpool youth team manager who managed the side against Villa in the League Cup is highly respected as well. Believe he was asked by UEFA to carry out a high level coaching badge if I am correct. I want to say his name isn’t Neil Critchley but may be mistaken. That gives me a tingle down below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also has a key input into the training sessions there. However given the length of Klopp’s new deal, would Ljinders be open to venturing into management now? Another member of Klopp’s back room staff (Buvac) decided similar not too long ago. This would be a highly impressive move from City should a vacancy become available.
