The Frank De Boer tactical and squad breakdown thread

[Goat]

Stand by for the Phillip Cocu Tactical Breakdown thread later on today.

If he comes he better bring Bazoer. Not fussed about the rest particularly. Bazoer, Besic and Barkley is a young midfield of dreams.

Lost the title to PSV on the last day of the Dutch league today.
Could only draw when they needed to win, to make it 5 titles in 6 seasons.
He's still my first choice for us tho'.
Diffficult choice - stay at Ajax to try and be the first coach to win 5 eredivisie titles or join Everton
Anyone else see this?

Our potential new hero has many cool pictures

Ajax fans not exactly singing his praises at the moment tbh.

Subbed off their top scorer at 1-1 when they needed a win to clinch the title.

Valencia are owned by Peter Lim, who has an estimated net worth of $2.2 billion. I hope we beat Valencia to the punch and I really hope De Boer wants to come to the Premiership.

Before we talk tactics, 2 basic questions need to be answered:

1. How hard do his players work?
2. How organised is his defence?

Hmm second place in a two horse race then...he sounds like a shoe-in to me

perhaps he was playing like our top scorer.

Find it quite prejudice that the top option always has more votes than the bottom

So please leave us, made no progress during the years. Yeah of course we have to start again every year. But that was not the case this year and we made zero progress. After 5 years he still can't make normals substitutions or present his team with decent tactics. Time to go. Thanks for the 3rd star nonetheless.

Poppycock, made no progress, when he took over they hadnt won the title for 6 years, he wins them 4 in 6 years.

Granted like hes been mugged rar off by Cocu the last 2 years, hence the, erm, switch in my target.

Based on 10 minutes watching today:

1. Not very
2. Not very

I watched the last 20 minutes, the Dutch Villa team didnt really have any chances, but they did break a few times, Ajax really struggled to break down their defence and spent the last 10minutes doing what I can only describe as "play like clowns".
