New Manager Planning

rikz said:
We need to spend in January, I dont care if glasner is leaving, managers are just coaches these days, they're paid good money to coach, if you can't continue with a squad good enough for the previous manager then you shouldnt be one, especially not at the highest level.

I hear you but I don't think you can properly judge managers on team built to other managers requirements and philosophy.

Football is replete with situations where that doesn't work.
 
It's all a bit of mess at the moment. I just hope it sorts itself out.

The first problem here is from the start of OG's employment a party wasn't prepared to commit any more than 2.5 years. I'm not sure if that was CPFC or OG but in hindsight we should have tied him down for at least another year from the start.

I keep reading people saying to give him what he wants. I don't think it's his personal demands that are the problem. OG obviously wants some serious backing to build a squad and the rumours are that if he doesn't get it he's going to walk.

We did find ourselves in an unusual situation. Clubs such as ours that qualify for Europe right at the end of the season either by winning the FA Cup or by sneaking a place in the league, find it difficult to recruit for the following season. It would never have been in the short term plan to be looking to build on a squad in preparation for so many games.

I would hope for a least another two or three in January, and then a more significant spend in the summer. In the meantime hope that we can convince OG to stay, but I fear he was always using us as a stepping stone and has already made his mind up.

Is this team built by Glasners requirements tho or did he come in and identify the best formation suited to this group of players ? Id say the latter as he's pretty open about 442 being his favourite formation and has used 433 in the past.

This! The "problem" was that we took a step to much or too quickly in the step to step approach as funny as it sounds. And unfortunately the funds required for this progress are probably not available.

A case of running before we can walk?

The funny thing is that Glasner seemed to have defied the odds and kept the momentum going even with the sale of Eze and Olise.
I doubt too many foresaw this improvement.

Kamada's absence (8-10 weeks), Munoz (perhaps 4 weeks) and Sarr (perhaps 4 weeks) will potentially hurt us and there's no sign of the long term injured returning.

It looks very difficult to see the momentum being maintained, at least over the next month , but we may get an unexpected bonus with the emergence of young players exceeding expectations.

He has played 3-4-2-1 for his past 168 matches, for Palace and Frankfurt.

I cannot make a case for the momentum being maintained due to the fixture schedule and the unavailability of players.
Let us hope we don't do a 'Humpty Dumpty'.

If you look at the Getafe manager profile, he plays 4-4-2, but exactly the style of Glasner, it a long used tactic. goalkeeper or centre backs kick long, doesn't matter who wins the ball, its the second ball that counts, Palace are superb at hassling the man in possession to win the ball high up the pitch, the wide players cut inside to find the space, in defence its a solid low block, 5-4-1, no space through the middle so forcing the opponents to go wide to find space, Getafe are a poor team financially, they beat Atletico Madrid using the same tactics that we have to beat many "better" teams, the crucial thing is all players buying into the tactics, which they do, it wouldn't work at a team expecting the manager to put on a show, Getafe like Palace are at or near the bottom of the possession tables, but that doesn't matter to a Palace or a Getafe fan.
