Good article this, mainly as it's written by those who know him very well (Aussies), they've followed his entire career, know his football and see what he's done, for them to be even surprised by how quickly he's got us playing underlines that given a better quality of Club set-up and way better pool of players available to him than in his previous jobs, things really do look interesting.
Oh yeah, we played counter attacking football for 3 years so that means the players totally forgot how to play attacking football.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s impressive that Postecoglou has managed to instill some of his ideas, but to say he’s a genius lol… I’d call him a genius maybe when he’ll do what the other “geniuses” didn’t, that is to win a trophy.
That's it, totally ignore the context and twist it like you always do
What context have I ignored?
The fact that they dont play football at all in Romania!
My daughter just sent me this - Brilliant!
I dont see what any of that has to do with what I said. He was hounded out of the national coaching job by fuckwits like Robbie Slater and Mark Bosnich.
Robbie looks a decent C cup in that image for some reason.
I don't think it was one thing.
Postecoglou was made to issue a public apology by the CEO of the FFA David Gallop after he said something about the local league (?) I'm sure he took that personally.
The Socceroos campaign was not going great under him- we were the last shot of the game bouncing off the post by Syria from failing to qualify. The team did not do good in the Confeds Cup under him either. He just didn;t have the cattle to play how he wanted.
City Football Group offered him Yokohama and he took it. Many Socceroos fans were pissed off at him for deserting the team 6 months out from the WC.
Yeah it was probably a combination of things but it wasn’t helped by not having the talent to really compete any more at the same level as the golden generation did. We had a 35 year old Tim Cahill spearheading that Asian Cup team.
LOL... The idea that he wasn't already working in the UK these last few years will boil so much Scottish piss.
I've watched a lot of Ange's teams and the scary bit is I don't think it has clicked yet. The intent is there in the way the team is playing but the movement and passing isn't as decisive. Tentative isn't the right word but it isn't second nature yet either.
Thats
Agreed.
Also the trio of Son, Rich and Kulu are not doing what Ange's teams have done in the past.
I was actually shocked he signed Kulusevski TBH, crazy as it sounds Celtic's Jota IMO would have been a better fit.

I agree, it seems like there is a long way to go yet.
I've also noticed that he seems to be yelling quite a few instructions from the sideline. When the teams gel Ange is typically one to just stand there watching in total silence. It's very much still early days.
I don't think that's correct for 99.9% of posters/fans
And I count myself in the contented group but...
It's the short term mentality of the easily pleased not to say yes, good start but don't sit there patting oneself on the back as though it's a 3 game season..
I think it rational and entirely consistent to say if we lose 25 goals per season that we need to repla e that as best we can.
Anyone who is concerned at the absence of even a loan signing to plug the gap is okay by my book in moaning. Anyone dismissing it just likes their tummy being tickled.
