Thanks Paul. Welcome to the club.

I hope your coaching is better than your bbcoding

Thanks Tremaine this is really useful and has really given me a lot of confidence. Hearing him speak inspires me with confidence.

I'm sure Stam would have thoughts like this but I always got the impression he had a great idea in not losing the ball and yes that sort of worked for the first season, mixed in with a lot of luck. Shit goal difference, punched above our weight, clueless at Wembley, but for most of the season yes it produced results on paper. But then I got the impression that when teams started figuring our single tactic out, he had literally no other ideas. He ploughed on with the same tactic arrogantly and teams were loving it as all they had to do was press. Then when it became clear he had to change he basically went into meltdown. It seems that he suddenly told his players "yeah get the ball forwards mroe quickly" and just shrugged his shoulders game after game when the players apparently weren't doing it, because presumably passing the ball along the back on its own wasn't going to magically open up space. He just basically seemed clueless, almost like he copied a trick from someone he worked with in the past, brought it here and then when a change was needed, didn't have the ability to change anything himself. A good manager isn't a manager with a good idea and a bad manager isn't a manager with a sh*t idea. A good manager can change ideas as he's going along and respond to the challenges faced, even several times within a game with B C and D plans.

The way Clement speaks in this video just gives me the impression he is able to think more carefully about his tactics.

Of course this could just all be me trying to read a positive that's not there and I have to bear in mind he probably had time to think about this and sound clever in retrospect. Perhaps he was just lucky on the day.
