Am i correct in saying St Pauli have primarily played with a 3-4-3 formation?

 

[chaileyjem]

THIS IS (pretty much) DONE

So



And This is a good podcast on St Pauli's season last year


Here's a comment from @attila



and confirmation this morning that its all but done from Romano (yes i know some of you are FR sceptics !!)

 

[Zeberdi]

another tactcial analysis of St Pauli don't think this one's been shared on here yet https://adamfc5.substack.com/p/fc-st-pauli-europes-most-in-form

Thanks. Not posted before, no.

One of the aspects for me, in considering his likability (apart from the football tactical analytics of course) was that he took over and motivated a squad and the fans that had had very similar set backs to us - RDZ did that after we were gutted losing Potter, but losing Caicedo and Mackie seemed to be a challenge that both RDZ and the fans struggled to overcome all through his tenure:

From your link:
“Having lost key personnel in the summer, and now the manager before Christmas, St. Pauli fans feared the worst when the club announced that a fresh-faced 29-year-old would be charged with tackling the notoriously difficult Zweite Bundesliga relegation battle.”

But instead of looking back, he adapted, motivated and took SP from the edge of relegation in the 2.Bundesliga when he took over from Schultz before Christmas of 2022/3 after a disastrous first half of the season and got them to 5th place. In 2023/24 he won the 2.Bundesliga, securing SP a promotion back into the Bundesliga after an 11 year absence by playing with consistency and the best defensive game in the 2.Liga and the 3rd best attacking game.

At least his name doesn't include one of those numbers 5's with the top chopped off. Ridiculous things.

To add a soupçon more Albion interest to this diacritics discussion, the wiki page on umlauts etc references our very own Pascal Groß when mentioning the German letter ß.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Presumably the Potter fanboys that have spent the last 9 months slating De Zerbi will be on this guys case from the off because he got the nod?

All 5 of them.

Let’s see if he has a plan B The NSC favourite when RDZ had half a squad.

 

[Surf's Up]

I haven't checked to see whether anyone else has voiced this concern about Hurzeler but we are told that he's a disciple of RDZ. If correct he comes to us intent on implementing a system which has been totally sussed by every premier League team as evidenced by our post Roma form so lets hope he's got a Plan B and a plan C up his sleeve or else there could be trouble ahead!!

 

[albionalba]

I am loving "the league table is just a snapshot" said in a German accent in that SP tweet.....probably we'll get that in a press conference around November......

Saw a pretty in-depth analysis of Hurzeler's tactics in We Are Brighton. Confirms he does indeed have a fully-formed Plan B. And here it is (somewhere near the bottom of the piece)

At last a use for all my ancient St Pauli shirts at the back of my wardrobe

Sad faces in basements.

 

[holybanjo]

I wondered about this. But then, how much top-level experience did Potter have, really?

He went toe to toe with Man City in the FA cup semi final

Can we try not to make this thread ANOTHER thread derailed by THAT...

 

[brighton_tom]

Anyone know enough about Bundesliga 2 to know what the predictions were for how St Pauli would do last season? Was the league title expected or them over achieving? & did they out spend others to do it?

 

[holybanjo]

What a club we are always trying to

…poach the best talent from smaller clubs.

 

[kelvinnewman]

My only slight tactical concern from what I’ve read so far is re mitoma.

From what I’ve read seems he makes use of more “inside forwards” than conventional wingers. I could see this working a treat for Enciso, Facundo, Pedro and Adringa (plus Osman) but does that mean it’s Karou vs Pervis and Colo for the lwb?

 

[holybanjo]

a few others whose adrenaline levels are now going through the roof

Mate it’s just a game we all love

 

[holybanjo]

Happy Clappy now

No pressure on the guy then

 

[holybanjo]

Hurzeler may not have the impact that some on here are expecting.

Instant club saviour and cult hero before he’s even signed a contract.
