Would be happy with Glasner or Hütter - think they're both a step above Iraola and Silva.

Have been reading into Hütter's philosophy and his management style sounds like exactly what we need. Hard sell with Monaco on the verge of CL footy though.

- Very experienced, albeit in leagues of quite varying quality.
- Emphasises building relationships with players, taking on their ideas and developing youth.
- Aggressive, attacking football with a high press.
- Tactically flexible and adaptive to game state.
- Keen to embed proactive mentality and character in his squads.

Likelihood is that it's Frank or Silva tho imo.

A lot to like about how he sets up and adjusts his teams, e.g. fullbacks/wing-backs providing width while wingers drift more centrally, numerical advantage high up the pitch. 6 dropping into defence in transition. Feel that suits our squad well.

be weird for the club that set itself up to be an attacking 4:3:3 team to do a complete 180 and turn back into a 5atb counter attacking team.

if it's who the club truly have scouted and looked into for now and then future then fine, but if it's just because he's flavour of the week because of palace's recent form then we are in bigger trouble than i could possibly have imagined

Xabi Alonso plays 5atb technically...

There is an attacking and a conservative way to approach any formation tbh

TBH with you, we have recruited players who fit a 5 at the back system, if ever there was a chance to bring in a back 5 coach it would be now.

I agree with you, but I also don't think setting us up as a counter-attacking team means we have to play negative football. e.g. Forest do it very effectively but are generally pretty boring to watch.

I think our squad is set up pretty well for 5atb too, with a little more defensive cover.

i've never seen it not be a somewhat pragmatic approach most of the time, but as you say levkusen use it and have made it work in an attacking sense.
just the last thing we need is not only losing games against our rivals next season, but negative football too. just be a recipe for more toxicity and around we go again.
And yeah before people say anything, yes it would be better than whats happening currently, thats not hard, but once the appeal of a more structured defence wears off eyes and minds will start to crave a team that to takes the fight to teams especially at home
