Duncan Ferguson - The Coach

[davek]

Love abit of Hoofball me. We're at our best when we play it. Get on board and give up the crazy notion we're anything other.

Moyes era supporter. ^^^ TBF, you know no better I suppose.

Imagine having a manager who runs round on a lap of honour after picking up a point at OT?

"It's just Everton's 6th draw at Old Trafford for 30 years!!!!".

FFS.

And what? He’s showing he’s assed so be quiet Dave

 

[roydo]

It's been ok. The OTT reaction is a worry, becaus it might well force these bone heads in the boardroom to go with him.

Given me a spring in my step, (which at this time of the year is always welcome), which is always nice when Everton can do that.

It made us look like Norwich: "We've got a point at Man United!!!"

The pigeons around Walton better have more than a spring in their step if they want to stay alive.

Given our record against Untied, certainly in the PL era, it's hardly surprising that there was some degree of celebration.

 

[Gilbert..]

He conducted himself like Harry Whiteloaf, manager of a Yorkshire ale house team.

Uncouth and not wanted at EFC. We are blue chip, not fish and chips.

Ha. Out of here. I'm getting the urge to go whack the one flew over the cuckoo's nest DVD on.

I'd never celebrate that. We may as well pack up if we plunge to that level.

We've spnt 5 years trying to get away from hoofball and some want to resurrect it because they want to indulge their nostalgia trip.

That's the danger here.

And it's been 5 years of managers coming in and gradually reverting to negative sideways and backwards possession at all costs football which has eventually become duller, and infinitely less productive, than anything even Wimbledon dished up back in the Crazy Gang days.

There has been a lot of direct balls played in the last couple of games but when an effective pass is on then what's wrong with playing it? It's been direct but hoofball? I'd disagree with that.

I didn't say it was right Dave, just understandable given our deplorable record against them

Cant expect a win against Leicester but its a cup quarter final at Goodison so we need to battle. The 3 games after that are all winnable. Arsenal are all over the place. Let Dunc have a crack at them. Unless of course Ancelotti is seriously going to come.

Love it me! Ball up to target man, someone picking up the knock on,wingers flying down the wing?! Get on board. I just think your pushing Ferguson away because he's staring feels inside that you just can't deal with. Embrace it!

I dont mind mixing it up. He doesn't do that.

It's Moyesian: long diagonal ball; compete for the second ball. Rinse and repeat.

WTF has he been doing when he became a coach after he stopped playing - stop looking at the evolution of tactics?

He is what he is.

Celebrating is a bit over the top mate I agree, but ultimately we picked up a point away at a ground where we have a poor record, United themselves have been strong at home this season, and our squad is decimated with injuries. All in all, disappointed we couldn't hold out / show more threat on the counter but a good point nonetheless.
