NUFC vs Brighton

[usedtobeshearer]

Players play. Coaches coach. I have played and coached professional sport for 25 years. In my opinion players just hasnt showed up. You can always make excuses for formation. That doesnt matter when you are playing great.

And excuse me for bad English. I am trying to say that formation doesnt guarantee the success. The players are the ones who do.

The coaches job is to get the best out of the players at his disposal...if the players are not doing it then of course the coach has to take the blame...we are not talking about ONE player off their game...

So the coach suppose to do what?? Have you ever played for any sport? Sometimes there is just no feeling, players are blamed. They have to correct this.

And it's not just the formation, its tactics....for example, Bighton are using a zonal press and have 3 players going towards the ball when not in possesion...we yet again look clueless going forward and defending...

We are losing the midfield because of formation and tactics...and that's down to the coach...the end!

Yes I have...
What is the coach supposed to do? 😂
Have a good plan and coach it into the players beforehand!
You are a coach? So you don't take any responsibility when you lose?

Lamptey has been the major difference absolutely ripped us and Saint-Maximin especially a new one.

Of course the players take some blame but in this instance (along with many others) its the coach to blame for inept tactics. Dinosaur Bruce & his obsession with 442.How many times over Bruce's reign have we dominated possession AT HOME ?

Oh, I agree the players have to take some of the blame...I just think absolving the manager of any responsibility is ridiculous...

[Geordie1974]

No blame for the manager, fück me, heard it all now. Why have one in the 1st place if its all down to the players.
