Yep! Just heard that he’s giving Warren elocution lessons.
I'm not convinced that having individual clubs build their identity around overtly political values is the best way to effect meaningful societal change.
And I strongly dislike the idea that anybody would feel excluded from supporting any club because of their political beliefs, or conversly would feel obliged to think a certain way just because they support a side.
Put another way, I see far more to admire in the culture around football in Liverpool or Sheffield (two examples I happen to be reasonably familiar with) than Glasgow.
Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with Hürzeler, so I'll leave that there.

strong and stable with me, or...

I wouldn't agree that the problems after Roma were about being sussex out, so much as lacking the attacking threat to best exploit the forward space that the system gained us. Arteta seemed to show this season that dominating like City, but being as effective as West Ham on set pieces seems a great blend. Good to read that Hürzeler seems to believe this too.

@scwiffy did here - Hürzeler plays a slightly different system to De Zerbi - (with a plan B and maybe C!)
His focus has also been on improving SP’s defending and scoring from set pieces abd focus on them in training - FH says of
...the success from set pieces: "Peter Németh is responsible for the attacking set pieces, Marco Knoop for the defensive ones. Normally, you can only shine from attacking set pieces, but the defensive ones are just as important. They both work very meticulously. You can only be successful as a team and in a team you need experts in certain areas. That's Peter and Marco and I have every confidence in them. They develop everything with the players in several meetings. We get the players on board and listen to their opinions and what they have to say on the various options. They're given responsibility on the pitch even though certain things are discussed ahead of the game. We want decision-makers and encourage them and it's up to the lads to put that into practice on the pitch."

All this talk about scoring from set pieces is worrying. There's a bloke near me who sees a corner as a good time to go to the loo. I fear for his bladder if this starts to change.

Further to the set piece talk…
Although we were pretty poor attacking wise, I don’t recall us being too bad defensively. When the opposition got a corner, I didn’t get the fear like I had done with previous Albion sides.

That's not a plan B. That's playing more defensively against bigger teams.
A plan B is...
It's thirty minutes into a game and the opposition have you worked out, what you gonna do?
But of course the reality is very few teams have a plan B. Modern managers are pretty dogmatic.
I'm very much in the players win matches camp.
Ultimately the best chance we have of success next season is a good summer transfer window and no injuries. Give that to a manager as seemingly intelligent and dynamic as Hürzeler and he'll be able to make match winning changes during games, plan B or not.

I really hesitate to say this but there was an Albion manager who definitely had an in game plan B
Not according to the PL.
https://www.premierleague.com/news/3988242
Arteta employed a “Plan B” for the NLD from the very beginning. Abandoning their usual attacking game, instead ceding possession, sitting deep, with long passes by Raya.
Perhaps you’re both correct?

Funny isn't it?
Not really a fan and didn't want him back but he definitely tried things.

Hmmm... was RDZ sussed out, or did he lose the weapons he needed?
RDZ only knows to attack, and if you don't have the players to hurt the opponents (Mitoma, March, Pedro), they're gonna hurt you.
But I agree a plan 'b' and 'c' is required. RDZ was very bad at adapting.

RDZ tried different things too.
But is that what we are talking about? That's tactical flexibility. My understanding of the idea of plan B is how you react during a match where things aren't working. Guess it depends how you define things. But I stand by the theory that having the best players available is the surest way to make proper changes during a match.
Reckon RDZ could have been a lot bolder had injuries been kinder.
Although I agree that despite those injuries he failed to adapt.
