Exclusive Swoop - Poyets master plan tatics uncovered

[kevtherev]

...or not all of our players are good enough to play to the strengths of our style... Gus is not going to change our style or our philosophy so get used to it. The players will be axed before our style does, fact

We may well only have to put up with his style for another 5 games.

0-0 Start of Game

Plan A - Cancel out opposition by plassing the ball amongst defenders. Try and tire out the other sides players then bring on a couple of wingers late on and snatch a point. If it works people will think your subs are a master stroke.

If all fails, throw a hissy fit and walk off in a huff. People will put it down to your South American genes, and forgive you. Some may even love you for it. Hell you may even get a standing ovation when your strange team selection has just seen your team dump out of he play off places. (yes people actually clapped when he stromed off with 8 minutes to go (including injury time) yesterday)

Always always blame the referee. Very important to remember this. Most others manager also employ this tatic, so it a free one, not often looked into any further by supporters. Will help out many times. But off course remember not to never ever say why. This could catch you out. Just use the excuse you don't want an FA fine. People will buy this over and over again.

Remember the club were in a shit state for the last ten years, so always look to the past if all else fails, and remind people where we where, and how lucky we are. This will apease 90% of followers for good long time.

And remember to keep linking yourself and refusing to rule yourself out of top jobs. Even though Chelsea and Tottenham would not come anywhere near you, or ever even think about offering you the managers job there, its always a good idea to keep yourself linked to them, and then people will beleive you to be a genius and never never dare question your tatics.

...and remember ALWAYS ALWAYS believe your own hype.

Oh yer

the truth is finally out , yet still some deluded folk would still eat his shit .i think he is alucky manager, how many games at home have we just got a result out of no were if we didnt get that bit of luck we would be near the bottom what with are away form . he likes a boring game that we shade 1-0 he tells us enough, no passion no excitement we are brighton we play one way but now is the time to take a chance, what other manager keeps his best players warming the bench and keeps talking up his chances of atop job ,when in reality his got the best f----ing job he could ever hope to have.

Poyet will never make a great manager.

Your reasons for saying that are ? He has a good 30ish years ahead of him as a manager (providing he doesnt get into a massive shit storm which makes most of football hate him).

Then until he signs a new squad, we will flatter to deceive.

So do you think Poyet is a good manager? You yourself say the players are not good enough, and that Poyet is not going to change. Can you say a football manager who will/can not adapt to his sqauds ability, can be classed as a good manager?

He doesn't have the temperament and is incapable of deciding on his best team leading to constant tinkering and lacklustre performances.

Did Poyet not sign 90% of the players we have?.....Off the top of my head only Navarro, Elphick and El Abd remain from when he took over.

 

[grummitts gloves]

Poyet will never make a great manager.

I think he could. Next season he will need to have moulded the team so he knows who the best 11 are and have some consistency in team selection like Saints, Reading etc. Our biggest downfall has been constant changes. I know some of this was dictated by injuries and suspensions. We are close, very close to being a top team in the Championship if and when it becomes a settled one.

 

[Binney on acid]

What a pile of crap! Are you seriously suggesting that the team should be selected on ability, or that we utilise wingers to create chances for CMS? Next thing you'll be suggesting that we actually consider a plan "B"! The psycophants on this board will not embrace your comments. Never forget that three years ago we struggled to beat the likes of Walsall. If I want to watch a war of attrition I'll watch chess. If I want to be anaethiised I'll go do the destist. I don't have to go to Famler for that.

At the start of the season, any talk of Poyet leaving us filled me with dread. I thought the bloke walked on water after last year.

After about 4 games into our losing streak, I started to doubt him. Now after nearly a full season, I think he is very very overrated, and is not the great new thing on the block, everyone all over the country thought he was.

If he did walk, I would not care one little bit. He will never go on to a top job, and any chance he had of getting the Spurs job if/when Harry goes to England, disappeared a long time ago. The day he drops the attitude and the "Gus' way is the only way" crap , and plays to the squad strength instead of playing to his own ego, will be the day opinions may change.

Most top managers would get this squad promoted with one or two additions to shore up the defense side of his. Credit to Gus, with the help of Bloom's millions, he's assemled a great sqaud, but he seems incapble of using them.

You get players that arrive on the scene with a flash bang and load of hype, and then end up in the lower reaches of the football league, I think Poyet could well be on the way to the managers verison of that, expect of course his ego won't allow it, and he'll walk away from the game.

You say psycophant, I say supporter. Just because people don't have toddler tantrums when we don't immediately get promoted from the championship doesn't make them sycophants.
You said yourself, you have a choice. You don't have to go to Falmer to watch it.

 

[The Peanut Roaster]

When all you impatient, ungrateful fuckers get your way and Poyet walks.
I wonder Who will be the 1st to moan when we're watching Boothroyds seagulls in a half empty stadium?
That's right, you lot again.

Never known you so aggressive since you had an eight and four in your hand.

 

[kevtherev]

This is the best Brighton team for at least 20 years! Wingers can play (or should) be able to play left wing, right wing, in the hole behind the striker. You don't HAVE to play them on the wings. Also, how will we evolve into a better footballing team without slowly changing the way we play?

Are you suggesting buying players who can "Play the Gus way" and not playing them until we have a whole squad of them!? That is madness. You evolve slowly, players improve and understand more, others come in. We may play badly for a bit and look like world beaters the next, but as long as we improve slowly over the course of the season we are doing well.

I read what you are saying but seriously. Whe was the last time we played well, or beat a team with ease apart from maybe Derby,,,and that was very much the Vicente/Lualua show...Keeping possesion is fine, but our defencive midfield are so slow at moving the ball around, the opposition has all the time in the world against us.

never fold an 8 4

 

[Albion Dan]

We have done tremendously this season and losing to Burnley is no real issue, they were premier league two seasons ago. However Poyet is an ego maniac and I wont be bothered when he leaves. Plenty of decent managers to take his place.

 

[One Love]

how many games at home have we just got a result out of no were if we didnt get that bit of luck we would be near the bottom what with are away form .

I do agree with this. We played really well against Derby recently and some of our cup games like Sunderland and Newcastle but more often than not we've been really lucky.

Even the first game we've pulled out of the bag against the team that has ended up bottom.

A lot of weeks we have produced a performance like the Forest one where we were woefull but still managed to win.

When I think about it there is really something weird going on. We seem capable of playing well against some of the big boys this year and we can be absolutely crap quite often too.

No. I'm not suggesting that at all. I'm suggesting play the Gus way, when you have players capable of it. Until then, play to the strenghts of what you have. If you have winger capable of flying past defenders like they are not there, play the players in the postions so they can fly past full backs like they are not there. After a player like LuaLua has team up with Vicente and completely raped Derbys defense, dont then change the way of playing and leave him out of the side for the next few games.

Check the stats, I'm sure Acker will be along to yay or nay them, but when winger have played as wingers, full back usually get early yellow cards. Full backs in this division cannot live with our wingers, so why do we never play with two of them, when you have so many class wingers in your squad? Why keep playing Ashley Barnes, in this f***ing stupid lop sided defensive winger role? (not a dig at Barnes, but the system) It's as if 4-4-2 and two wingers is too common and dirty a system for Gus to play, but he's built the perfect squad for it.

Sell Noone for £2mill if your not going to play him. Are we that rich to keep a £2 mllion player as 4/5th choice player? Buckley, LuaLua, Vicente, Barnes all seem to have more change of playing then Noone, so why bother keeping him?

He plays one winger, so why have 4 more than capable ones in the squad?

Fine if we had the players elsewhere, but we have about 8 central midfielders, and it still seems our weakess position.

We have 4/5 excellent wingers yet he plays one!!

P much sums up my thoughts.

 

[Mr Burns]

This is the best Brighton team for at least 20 years!

No its not. Best squad in twenty years by a country mile. Best team. No chance. Take the team he played at Burnley, clone who you need to and play them against last seasons team, and I think last seasons team would have beaten us easily.

I'm confused? Irony?
