"Score more than your opponent = success". No, really?

Well probably need a team of 10 forwards to counteract how many goals we'll let in, given FH game is possession based, attack minded and less priority on defence.































Edit: oh f**k

Sell your best midfielders for silly money. Don't replace them. Then hire a manager that doesn't use a midfield? This is peak Tony Bloom

Jokes aside, great video. Like that he references Brighton - shows this should be easy transition for our squad.

Also, his focus on set pieces. We've been atrocious, so this is very welcome news.

Doesn't really go into enough depth on his tactics but it's a nice introduction and looks like there is a lot of similarities to how we already play. It would be nice to see more about how this "no midfield" works. Really need a 442 insight like with McKenna where they really break down how the manager plays.

I don't think he completely abandons the defensive sides of the game St Pauli still had the best defensive record in their league last season. The video mentions how they setup if the initial press doesn't work when they loss possession.

Pretty sure he'll be very decent. Still doesn't address the central issue tho of having a squad full of young kids and old men and not very much substance in between. That's one for the board to address

A little confused why this warrants a new thread because there loads of stuff about his tactics being discussed and posted on the Hürzeler thread, including now several times the above video. However, on the the first post of the other thread , I posted a link that contains a very detailed analysis on Fabi-ball and how it fits in with our existing system.

This is the article to read IMHO if you really want to understand the Hürzeler system - it also details the roles of each outlier and GK in the St Pauli squad. From here it is possible to see who our key players could be next season and whether they are up for the job - suffice to say, if a squad from the edge of the relegation zone down to 3.Bundesliga, having lost their manager and several key players can get to the Bundesliga in one and a half seasons, without spending any big money on players, it’s a bust for me.

St Pauli’s year of Hürzeler – now also playing the best football in the 2. Bundesliga - Analytics FC

German football expert Abel Meszaros looks at St. Pauli, everyone's favourite left-wing club, and argues that this season, they're more than just a cult classic

(and I think FH will be more creative with the tools he has than spend too much time pining for the ones he doesn’t based on his recent sucess with St Pauli that clearly out-performed his available recourses.)

Hopefully the new medical guy and fitness guru will have a positive influence on who is available and keep some of the older players fitter for longer. Injuries to important players really did stuff us last year.

I've heard he sticks with a regular No.1 Keeper! Should make for a few dryer mattresses around these parts.

Not impressed by him so far I'm afraid. He needs to be given time to steady the ship sure. But how much longer can we give him considering what we've seen?

Same, hopefully Bloom realises his mistake and sacks him by the end of Euros.

These are a good video. These next tactics could be season-defining.

Given the other thread is currently about 90% posts about umlauts, I can see some advantages to a separate thread about tactics and actual football.

He plays with rush goalies ...............and we're all over the place..............and hopefully all over Palace

Unless that No.1 regular keeper is Steele!

Shouldn't um, louts, be on the thread about vandalism?

Did the polizei manage to arrest the prankster operating a giant cursor droid during a Bundesliga match?
