Glasner, Part 2

[Lanzo-Ad]

I have been in communication with a gentleman who has been a Millwall aficionado for many a year.
He informed me that Esse was deployed at Millwall behind a single striker anywhere across the pitch, normally coming in off the right.

Dose your Gentleman have a white stick, or maybe you didn't grasp him guttural tone

Doesn't your image completely support that suggestion that Esse was deployed behind a single striker, in a variety of roles, but predominantly off the right..?

i will wait until the end of the transfer window, maybe a plethora of suitable candidates will appear, if not i will gamble on Glasner leaving before the end of the season,

Some kind soul in a fit of mirth mentioned to me that he believes Glasner will depart before the end of the 'Window' ! 😀

If you and Willo don’t stop moaning and posting doom and gloom all the time I might have to add you to my “ignore” list alongside Grumpymort!

Count yourself fortunate you are not seated next to me at the ground.
I was making my way to my seat at the Southampton game and the gentleman in the row behind bellowed out "Here comes Moaning Minnie". Charming. 🙁

I can tolerate the doom and gloom, it’s the semi literate bollix than I object to !

Alas I am a limited clunker in the dusk of life.
My intellect burns with as much brightness as a stand-by light on a radio clock alarm.😢

Contact in place with Oliver Glasner and potential job offer for Crystal Palace manager on horizon - Sport Witness

RB Leipzig have identified Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner as one of a number of candidates for their managerial job, according to this week’s edition of SportBild. The Austrian arrived at the Premier League side in February 2024 and the Eagles lost only three of their final 13 league...

Perhaps just the one signing will cause OG to walk and take up this lucrative offer with a properly run Club,where he will be properly supported.
Dyche, is available!!

Who does. Wear two with certain types.

We quoted Bayern a ludicrous fee. Which makes me wonder if we'll just do that again. Wonder what the cancellation fee for Glasner's contract from his side is?

What's a nice post like you doing in a thread like this !

I like Glasner. He's a breath of fresh air compared to Roy ( who I always supported given the circumstances he was working under ). He's trying to play a different brand of football. A brand that he has had success with and has made his reputation by playing.

I recently engaged with a football journalist, discussing what criteria clubs use when appointing managers. Was it just their being successful ? Was it the style of play they employ ? Was it a mixture of both.

He had consulted with a few clubs when providing an answer. And it was, by a clear majority, the mixture.

So...when Glasner was appointed it would have been in the full knowledge of how he sets his teams up. Between Parish and Freedman they would have to evaluate Glasner's suitability in terms of the direction the club wanted to go in and how they were going to get there. That suitability match would also take into account the players currently at the club as well as future potential purchases.

Staying with the system then - I doubt that any manager / head coach would change their way of playing to accommodate one player, in this case, Eze. You can make a case for the system not suiting him, but I contend that doesn't extend to his carelessness in possession, sloppy passing and the recent trend of slowing the play down even when in space to carry the ball.

You don't like a back three, but it was successful at the end of last season together with the recent run of one defeat in eleven games. Moving to a four would certainly suit Mitchell - but what of Munoz on the other side ?

Glasner isn't perfect. And if he was a better manager than he is, he wouldn't be at our club. I will agree that a potential fault of his is his inflexibility in terms of set up. And I've tried to articulate above the reasons for that. It's not a question of blind acceptance, more a question of I trust Glasner's judgement in front of ANY poster on here including myself. He's the multi million pound professional who gets it right more often than he gets it wrong.

You sum up the various elements that make up the core of the debate just as I see them, just missing one thing and that is the way that the original poster presents himself in all of this.

This bit in bold nails exactly how I feel and many others with common sense besides. No one ever said Glasner was above criticism but getting straight back into him again after one defeat and one disappointing performance is just proof if there ever was any that the opening poster doesn't care how good or bad we do under Glasner. He has just decided he doesn't like him and wants him out. Dont be suckered in by all that 'I like him as a person and its nothing personal' bullsh*t. If that were true he wouldn't keep making himself look so idiotic by persistently attacking him regardless of how well we are doing.
If we won the FA cup but finished 11th he'd moan that we should be in the top 10!

 

[est1905]

It didn’t stop young Esse moving across from right to left to find space within seconds of coming on the field. Was he ignoring instructions or using his initiative when we have the ball?

Exactly. Glasner's system is not rigid at all. Sadly some only see what they want to see.

 

[est1905]

I've had a simular conversation with anyone who will listen this week.

Would you ever see Eze tapping in the opposite (to his position) back post? Not in a month of Sundays.

Not only did Esse make a run across the box into the channel to give Eze an option, when it wasn't passed to him and instead Eze crossed it deep, he got himself into a dangerous position. Hugely impressive movement.

Reminded me of Olise though it would be unfair on the lad to make that comparison

90% of HOLers are Lemmings, and will follow anything they are told, and will follow OG off the cliff with his formation, where even the thickest of HOLers, and there is a lot to choose from, Can see that 4-2-3-1 is the best formation for the players available.

Calling people thick and lemmings because they have a different opinion is poor. Your better than that
