Title: Jol as a coach
Post by: jms on January 05, 2013, 11:03:26 PM
Will someone explain to me why Jol is often described as 'a great coach.' Every time I watch us, I see a team bereft of any form of organisation or shape. They seem like a group of individuals just getting in each others way. A bit of individual brilliance from the greek saved us today from complete embarrassment.

Gets good reports from most (not all) of the players who have played under him.  Did well at Spurs, which is where his rep was formed.

Honestly, he is a good coach because he makes smart acquisitions, and generally pulls off expectable and reliable results.

It's all part of his elevation to sainthood.

He makes great acquisitions but he's not responsible for transfers. Can't beat that for saintly.

Well just on the odd occassion like last week he actually had Kaka come in from the wing and had Berbatov go deep and wide and I thought at last. He is thinking about stuff.

But he hasn't an attacking bone in his body. So really has no idea how to press sides. One up and slow breaking forward. However I have said it before so will say it again. The club have decided to not spend money and so we will lose players and only replace them by old men. Sometimes it works but Jol has nothing to work with week in week out.
