Defence Coach

[TippEverton]

Do you need a defensive coach to realise whilst your well in the game it might not be wise to pile everyone forward for a corner. It was awful game management last night, coupled with awful displays from all 4 across the back line that cost us last night and I'm not sure a defensive coach could have helped us in that regard last night.

I agree though that for the future it might be worth a look at getting one in, not going to hold the breath though, we haven't done much by the way of change this season.

Do we have one?

If so who is it?

As he stated; Roberto is not too concerned about defence, not a lot of goals are scored from corners or set pieces, so not worth our time to spent too much time on it...(gist)

I thought people were joking about this!

Oh FFS

I was wondering the same thing this morning (last night)

At the moment we seem to be somewhere in here about the state of defense:

you mean up the creek bigtime

A defensive coach makes no sense to me whatsoever.
A team operates as a unit of 10 for which the manger is responsible.
If he can't do it, he goes.
Simple as!

Get Dave Watson back from Newcastle.

Newcastle have conceded 5 more goals in the League than us.

.....think it was apparent from Baines pundit work when he was lost when asked about tactics and individual responsibility from set pieces.

No joke...last night, now that was a joke

Jags, Alcaraz, Baines and Coleman are hardly wet behind the ears are they? They're all experienced international players. Barry in front of them is an experienced international player, as is Howard behind them.

They shouldn't need telling not to do the things they were last night. Whilst the coaching staff may be liable for some blame, so too should the players on the pitch, and of course the Kiev attackers for scoring some belters.

 

[technojoe]

have we got a defensive coach? seriously you cannot tell with that shower of crud this season.

You're right in a way, but from what i'm reading here we don't do much, or any defensive coaching?!

Even for old heads that's wrong.

We have to be realistic as to the amount we know about the coaching that goes on though

The Nile is a river actually ...

That's what I hope mate. It can't be as bad as being posted here can it?

Although the evidence on the pitch suggests it is!

No, I think he means get Niall Quinn in as defence coach?
