Should we man mark Taarabt?

Wonder what Tony Currie would have made of that, or Pele, Johann Cryff etc.... You know what? I bought a book full of guitar chords, can't play the guitar though so quote all you like about coaching manuals, if you haven't got the basics then you'll always struggle. Nick Montgomery still can't properly control a football, and that's despite all the wonderful modern coaching he's received so let's not kid ourselves that he's something that he isn't.

As to the modern way of coaching well I'm sorry, to me it's mostly bollocks. The Liverpool side of a few years back employed the best plan, keep it simple. Play in short triangles, don't give the ball away and simply master the basics. Football's a simple game, no need for mathematical formulae to win matches, just keep the ball and score more than the opposition, and yes it really is that easy if you employ players that can do the basics well enough.

So Modern coaching is bollocks is it, well my friend how can you call someone a 'dinosaur' when you aren't prepared to understand how the game has evolved? Call it as you think but Monty's 294 appearences alot at Championship level and a few at Priemership level tells a far more different story of him being so shit and not being able to do the basics. All those managers he has played for see quite a different player than you do, and why is that? because they know what to look for they know more about the techincal, physical, psychological and social aspect of the game than you. To be a decent coach and a decent player you have to be adaptable, to be a fan you don't.

As for basic and simple, if you actually looked into the modern coaching game, thats entirely what its about keeping it simple, flowing but challenging, and real to game situations.

Care to scroll back through the thread and highlight where I called you a dinosaur? Let's be honest, as you're banging on about "modern" coaching, a dinosaur is the last thing I'd call you. I think I'd stick at gullible.

We could have this discussion till we're blue in the face, I think Nick Montgomery is a footballing retard, you think he's the second coming so no worries. If you like watching that kind of stuff then great, I don't, I think he's shite.

As to...........

Fuck me, like I said, you're gullible. You don't play football in books and on wipe boards, you don't need a degree in astro physics, you simply need to be able to control a ball, pass the thing and read the game. Monty runs about a lot, absofuckinglutely simples

Why am I gullible? Because I believe in the ethos of developing our national game, we are too far behind other countries and as for it being simples and just need to play, where does the blame fall when prepartion isn't right or the tactics are wrong, it lies at the managers and coaches feet, no matter what you say the game is played on the field on the a saturday but its spends a fair amount of time on white boards and in little coned off areas during the week. By the way I don't think Monty is the second coming just a capable player, decent at what he does, not bad at other things, makes mistakes but takes alot of very harsh criticism.

>His passing was inconsistent, sometimes on the mark, sometimes wayward
yeah but at least he could make a simple five yard pass to currie or woodward
