... and playing out from the back all the time regardless of logic is the philosophy of...?
Doing Cruyff turns and wanting to play like a creative midfielder as a defender is the philosophy of....?

Players are on the pitch, if the coach has to drill it into his head to hit it into the last row maybe he isn't as good as every one thinks.
 
utter tosh. no manager would ask a player to do that.

“In those moments you need to trust the player to make the right decision,” said the Everton manager. “He's an out and out defender and then, for me, he's the best footballing centre half in Europe, so he's allowed to make his own decisions.

“As a player you need to do that. If you take an extra touch and lose it then it's a mistake, but don't lose it and it's not a mistake. In football I like to trust a player to trust his decisions and I like to back him up.

“With his ability he knows what he's doing, but at 21 he's a young man and he's still learning.”

And again...

Dennis Lawrence needs to stand in front of our travelling fans and explain to them what he actually does with the defence during the week. As far as I see it - not a great deal.

He's a crap coach working for a crap manager - GO Now all of you - it's embarrassing.
 
We are a team of losers , simple as that.
We must have accumulated a record number of minutes of goals conceded in added time in premier league history if not football history.
Dunno whats worse , the Meh I feel as I dont care if we lose anymore.
Or the thought of another season under this Mungbean of a manager. He cant be there next year , can he?
I cannot bare the thoughts of it, say it aint so fellas , please say it aint so
