He is a great player, but to be fair, he’s been pretty average for them. I don’t blame Jurman though, from the sounds of things, the players don’t know what they’re doing in the systems that they’re playing in, they’re literally lost. The fox guys were talking about it on the pod the other day, they’ll move the ball forward but then they’re not sure what to do. It’s the same defensively, they don’t know whether to move forward as a line or whatever, it’s they’re like cats attempting to be herded at the moment.
Holding them hostage for longer than reasonable with clearly a fake tattoo gimmick
Based on the above, I can find no reason that any of you should have anything against the guy, with the understandable exception of the first point for you non-LFC fans.
I love that the pressure is getting to him. Hilariously he has started changing his coaching method plus the swearing and ranting. Shows he is at right at the point where he knows he’s fucked and there is no recovery. 18mths minimum until they are top 6 material.
I picked that as well. In one breath he says it’s all lies / dogshit, unfounded rumours don’t warrant comment etc, yet he still saw fit to raise it in a team meeting yesterday and has apparently just started taking a more hands on approach to their training sessions.
Wonder if that’s come from Lederer. It must’ve crossed his mind this week WTF Babbel actually does if JP has been running training and then picking the team.
Babbel: "On Wednesday morning the coach took aim at the reports, saying that if players cannot handle a tough coaching style they 'have no f*ing chance in Europe’"
Also Babbel: Sacked by Swiss Super League club Luzern in Jan’ 2018.
Looks like he doesn’t know how to make it in Europe as a coach either.
however
part of me feels a little sympathy because i remember those cold wednesday nights in the rain when we were almost unwatchable in the farina years
