[Albion] Hurzeler's Chelsea Press Conference | Cashin Integration And Ferguson Loan

[Justice]

Does anyone know if his St. Pauli team had a lot of young players? (I assume that one of the prerequisites of a manager we hire would be evidence of being able to work with/develop young players).

The average age of his St Pauli side was 26.5 which answers the question.

 

[sydney]

I can't watch more than 2 minutes of him droning on about trusting the process. Sooner he's gone the better. Out of his depth.

I'm afraid we're stuck with him .....forest squad and wags whisked off to Dubai for a week of warm weather on Sunday , be interesting to see how they respond , not that they needed to respond after removing our hosiery and giving us a monumental seeing to.

I'm FH out I'm afraid. Not now, but end of the season.

Iam

You need selection, formation, intelligent deployment, tactics, method, ability to target personal duels, rehearsed manoeuvres with the ball, understanding of opponent specific weak points, methods to win ball back, in game changes, tactical adjustments, creating overloads, minimising transition threats, achieving offensive overloads, set piece effectiveness, defending set piece organisation, and many other things.

in place of all that, we have “togetherness and intensity”. Clueless. 5th choice, out of his depth.

I am far from convinced by FH and have been varying degrees of skeptical about him since pre season if I'm honest but it's nonsense like this post that will push me firmly into a pro FH stance.

Those just happen to be the fundamentals of football coaching, and it might be something to hold onto if our head coach just occasionally mentioned such factors, or indeed used them. But he doesn’t.

And your credentials are…?

 

[Mancgull]

I’m still a bit conflicted by the fact that he speaks so well at press conferences, saying all the right things and I’m wanting to back him as he’s a young ambitious coach, but then seeing the players have little idea or belief in a plan or way of playing.
On Saturday the team fell apart because under the huge pressure put on them by Forest we didn’t know what to revert to. We had spankings when playing RDZ’s style but after every goal conceded we went back to playing ‘our way’.

Even if we get Europe and win the FA Cup

This is pretty much where I am. He speaks well, I want to believe in and support him but there's a disconnect between what he says and what I see.

That I can't work out what we're trying to do most of the time means I can't work out what, if any, progress we're making towards it and because he has such a small track record there's nothing to fall back on and say 'this is what happened here, this is what happened after and this is the end product'.

It makes me a bit antsy. But nowhere to the point of some of the rubbish that's been written over the past week.

 

[Auckland seagull]

Of course his press conference is going to reflect his true feelings and give exact information about his tactics, relationship with his players, methodology about how he will exploit flaws in opposition tactics, timings of substitutions and pinpoint the tweaks he has made to prevent another 7-0 drubbing. Not. It's a presser. Where all coaches mutter platitudes, repeat mantras and get the hell out as quickly as possible. Give the guy a break.

 

[Frankworthington]

We’re 26 games in, and all he is preaching is “togetherness and intensity”. In the most elite league on planet Earth, you need more than that. He doesn’t have anything about him. Out, quicker the better.

He's a dead man walking

 

[Merlin57]

He doesn’t inspire or excite me, that’s me, if the players feel the same then that’s seriously concerning. I just got the feeling, the players would have run through a brick wall for RDZ, they knew their roles and bought into his philosophy, don’t get the same feeling with Fab.

 

[Triggaaar]

I understand that the process is defined as such -

The process is a lonely child, who's waiting by the park
The process is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre?
And every little thing the process does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

Very good

This. It all feels like a big unanswered question at the moment.

I guess we'll all just have to be patient and... trust the process (ducks)

We're 10th in the league having beaten Man City, Man U twice, Newcastle away and Spurs from 0-2 down, and having drawn twice with Arsenal.

Be careful what you wish for.

Really can’t properly judge until he’s had a much more settled starting XI for a period.

Are you from the potteries?

Surely he is the one that unsettles it ?

We did. But we also got into a bit of a habit (like now) under RDZ of conceding a second quickly after a first though. I recall Luton & Marseille in particular - but there were others.
