That sounds promising, pretty much exactly what we need and, like I've said in another thread, perhaps he's one of a few managers right now that would have our whole fanbase behind him from the start. Something that no other manager has had since Fergie, due past negative periods. Maybe it's time we took a chance on an up and coming manager, arriving with a bit of a positivity around them.
The last part I agree with too, I feel like we've got a good squad now and there should be bigger expectations for this season, and the next few, towards becoming a competitive team once again. But whilst we have a manager that doesn't seem to coach his ideas or visibly implement any sort of style consistently, then we can't know which players are performing or just not being utilised correctly.
That's the grey area with Ole. People can blame the players but when we've spent so much on players that were doing well prior to coming, then you have to look at the manager. Especially when he's never really proven himself to be a top level manager or even potentially a top level manager. He was a middle of the road manager that you'd have never heard of had he not been such a big player for us.
Well, theoretically, as a coach, he works with what he has first and foremost, coaching the coach-able and eventually doing away with the uncoach-able amongst them; as LVG showed, even the likes of Smalling can play possession football if trained by a competent enough coach, so I am not so sure how many of our squad are the absolute write-off they're thought of as. I'm not saying we have a team of world beaters nor players who can't be improved upon, but in the interim, there's loads that could be done with the level of talent we have at our disposal if the right coaches got their hands on them.
What we mostly see is what these players look like left to their own devices with no firm ideas or constructs in place for them to follow - to know what they are doing with and without the ball at nearly all times.
People seem to think more gusto would solve the problems of players simply being clueless of what is the best thing for them to be doing as individuals when the pressure is on and their other - individual - team-mates are starting to get flustered because their ideas don't match with their team-mate. If you're responsible for an improvised attack breaking down, and you aren't the most confident individual, you're going to melt that bit more the next time the situation arises where you've got to again make something up on the hop with absolutely no construct to follow.
You can get away with that with genial players, but for most teams, even with high levels of talent, you only want a couple of players winging it with everyone else having very simple remits to follow, that way, everyone can play 'blind' because they know who should be where at any given time, and procedurally, things become automated and very easy indeed. Sure you might lose games, and sure, sometimes it mightn't work out, but you can immediately point the finger at who, or what, has gone wrong when everyone has an idea of the job they're supposed to be doing on the pitch.
Sometimes players can even follow the managers instructions to the wire, and then, the finger is pointed solely at the coach (LVG), but in all instances, things are clear and defined, and so much easier than the ritual running through treacle we have done for nigh on 8 years now.
Rose's teams instantly fill you with wonder and curiosity as to what they/he will come up with next. Much like how, when you watch a Bielsa side in full flow, you're wowed by how such - generally - inferior players can be overwhelming individuals and sides they've no business looking at, on paper.
I do think people would get behind anyone who came to our club and displayed the nous to get us cohesive and flowing in attack and defense. Rose, along with a few others, puts the onus on what we have, rather than what we have to wait for in the the next transfer window, or the next, or the next into perpetuity. If you want to see 'miracles' like O'Shea and Giggs working wonders in central midfield, much to the bemusement of simply everyone, it's coaches like Rose who are most likely to get that tune out of anyone that's here and have players looking better than they are 'supposed' to or have been declared to be.
Think it'd be an absolute breath of fresh air for players and fans alike.
