Absolutely love listening to these kind of detailed tactical breakdowns. Also, interesting system with 3CB's, 2 DM's, 2 AM's and numerical superiority depending on opposition approach.
Even if it's a smaller league, he's won 6 trophies with Al-Sadd. They were already good when he took over, but going by some of the clips that were doing the rounds on reddit, they're playing some nice football. Also 66% win percentage, which is nice.Odd for a manager with feck all accomplishments in the game to be giving a "masterclass". Will be interesting to see how he gets on when he finally manages Barcelona. People seem to think he suits the job (manager).
Okay, my little dots, go out and enjoy yourselves.Someone please send this clip to Ole and gang.
15 mins philosophy makes so much sense than 3 years of crap showing.
That's just nonsense. Unless you're saying Ole knows more than Nagelsmann? Or how about Brendan Rodgers who just schooled Ole 48 hours ago?Everyone who has played professionally knows more football than a fan.
Xavi is no different than Pirlo managing Juventus, no different to Ole at United.
If he is good enough he will be good enough and it's hardly to do with an "intelligence" it's how that intelligence is gotten through to a squad of 24 players - that is why its called management or coaching.
How is that an average fan? I'm talking about how fans are wowed by xavi here when it's because they know little about football in comparison to the professionals in the first place.That's just nonsense. Unless you're saying Ole knows more than Nagelsmann? Or how about Brendan Rodgers who just schooled Ole 48 hours ago?
They weren't professional footballers. I'm sure they were likely fans. A fan can know more about football than an ex-player. What you're really saying is fans that know less than ex-players know less than ex-players, at which point your statement is so redundant that it doesn't need to be said.How is that a fan?

So Nagelsmann who had a youth career doesn't know anything about football?They weren't professional footballers. I'm sure they were likely fans. A fan can know more about football than an ex-player.

Wtf is this nonense you keep returning to? Your original statement was than a fan, then you changed it to 'the average fan' which is completely different. Now you're back to saying he knows more than a fan. Even an ex-pro, even a current manager, can be a fan. Being a fan isn't something exclusive to people that don't play the game so your comment is just stupid. Lots of fans played youth football, which is what you've just used to shift the goalposts and defend Nagelsmann with.So Nagelsmann who had a youth career doesn't know anything about football?
He knows more than a fan. Simple.
He wasn't away from football and watching it on TV and talking about it on the Internet on the TV. He was involved in it since 2006.
Again how the feck is nagelsmann a bloody fan or an average fan?Wtf is this nonense you keep returning to? Your original statement was than a fan, then you changed it to 'the average fan' which is completely different. Now you're back to saying he knows more than a fan.

I can't comprehend your stupidity. It's like saying you can't like tea if you like coffee. You can like both. Just as you can be both a fan and a player or a fan and a manager etc. You keep saying how are they the average fan but your original post that I replied to suggested any fan, you've just now shifted over to saying the 'average' fan. Also Nagelsmann didn't play for Augsberg at a professional level so no, he wasn't a professional footballer.Again how the feck is nagelsmann a bloody fan or an average fan?
He played for ausberg and coached so many teams before he got to Bayern levels. 14 years he has been involved in football and you are talking like he is fan like you.
Now get lost and shift your own goal posts. Talking like Nagelsmann and Brendan Rodgers are just random people who watch football on TV never had a career that got stopped half way due to injuries so then turned to coaching then turned to good managers aka more knowledge thana fan because of their involvementin professional football.
Literally your anger with United and Ole is getting your angry. Poor you. Now get lost. Haha.
So he was youth player for two clubs and then stopped and went in to coaching.I can't comprehend your stupidity. It's like saying you can't like tea if you like coffee. You can like both. Just as you can be both a fan and a player or a fan and a manager etc. You keep saying how are they the average fan but your original post that I replied to suggested any fan, you've just now shifted over to saying the 'average' fan. Also Nagelsmann didn't play for Augsberg at a professional level so no, he wasn't a professional footballer.
Again, I'm not disagreeing that people involved in football have more knowledge of football in general than your average fan but your original comment that I disputed was that simply being an ex-pro means you know more than any fan. I took issue with the idea that you somehow have to have been an ex-pro because we see people like Nagelsmann who was never a pro. I'm not saying Nagelsmann has had no football involvement, just turned up at Bayern after chatting with his mates at the pub & was given the job, just that you're wrong to say you need to be an ex-pro. Stop changing the argument just so you can try and win it. It's embarrassing.So he was youth player for two clubs and then stopped and went in to coaching.
He is more involved in football than you ever was so talking to him would be a wow experience.
The same thing with Steve bloody Bruce.
Stop thinking you know more football than these lot.
If you are involved in football, playing football, coaching football, you know more about it.
It's literally why the pundits have changed from the average person to ex players let me guess, a fan would know better. Bull shit. Now this is not interesting to me. You win the conversation. Take care.
Following your logic Carlos Alberto Parreria, Saari and Saachi should all have never been given their chance to coach/manage any teams since they're just fans before they stepped into management.So he was youth player for two clubs and then stopped and went in to coaching.

Exactly. Idk why I can't get this message through to him. It's like, sure they're successful household names now but they weren't before they were given the chance to be as they had never been professionals. Oh well, some people.Following your logic Carlos Alberto Parreria, Saari and Saachi should all have never been given their chance to coach/manage any teams since they're just fans before they stepped into management.
Depends on the player and depends on the fan.Everyone who has played professionally knows more football than a fan.
Xavi is no different than Pirlo managing Juventus, no different to Ole at United.

Probably be folding his arms, crossing his legs, sucking in his lips & making Carrick push red dots around a board.Ole's masterclass would be him pushing the red dots faster around the pitch and then saying how passion attitude blah blah beat the blue team.
Im sure he canI refuse to believe that Jonjo Shelvey can explain football tactics better than the average caftard.
Either I'm overestimating the caf or you're underestimating it...Im sure he can
