Completely forgot about Brattan. Bloke cant even get in to the shittest team available

There are good and bad teams/coaches in every league.But take Walmsley out of the equation.Brisbane,MV and WSW are all playing attractive football and winning.The idea they only play this way because there is no fear of relegation is crazy.Each coach is under pressure to win to keep their job.Walmsley apparently is guaranteed a job as long as his side entertains.(dumb)
The fact is that english coaches that have coached here have not played winning football that is possession football or attractive football.But that probably means we just haven't attracted the best coaches more than anything.Although playing unattractive football hasn't worked for them either.

kerem bulut played 62 minutes before being substituted in Iraklis 2-0 away win over Acharnaikos. Good to see him go straight back into the team. lets hope he starts again the weekend. having him juric and cahill or playing come march will be a massive positive for the socceroos

Love a good old crossbar challenge :D

I wonder if any player playing in the a-league might move to Europe or Asia during January, lots of rumours but i wonder if there would be that would eventuate?
Questions on the next gen of players given many are off contract or attracting interest from overseas such as Mooy,Caceres, Risdon, Gersbach, Borrello etc.

Vise Versa for the guys in Europe, would Luongo go on loan, Taggart might came back home, same can be said with Brillante?

Interest January coming up.

Kerem Bulut still astounds - for all his on-field brain snaps and absences through that and other discipline-related transgressions, he still bounces back with opportunities almost instantly. Far more than most who don't commit even a fraction of the infringements. This is the same for a number of clubs he's played for, a number of different managerial regimes? It just goes to show his level of talent and what the coaches see in him. If he can develop some greater maturity, self-discipline and consistency in application stemming from that, then the world is definitely his oyster!



=d> Nice job from Awer - Good technique on some of those attempts, his foot-eye co-ordination (I guess?) is certainly better than his team-mates, even if they're mucking around. :) Hopefully when he sees more opportunity at this club, he can seize more of the opportunities that will inevitably present for him - the amount he infamously squandered with AU - he could've been the A-League's Golden Boot winner, twice-over! :p

Agreed and with the managerial regimes and football styles of teams, there can be some 'good footballing sides' in the mix as too a generation of more technical managers too? Brendan Rodgers for instance and Swindon when Luongo was there were playing a good style too IIRC? Apparently managers like Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink were about there too, playing some good football with smaller teams like Burton Albion AND getting the results too. While it's certainly higher-stakes, results driven, as 'New Signing' says (With many still playing a more direct style), it's not necessarily the case that all the managers at that level are Neil Warnock's or Tony Pulis-like either?

It just goes back to our players and their agents/representatives being more selective (If they have that choice), or just plain lucky, with the clubs and managerial regimes they end up with.

You need to be playing in the A league first to go overseas. Don't know how to Bold lol, i meant Borello.

Like Bourbon Bec and the NSW Police Commisioner, some people can't get beyond the stereotypes of the 80s and 90s of British football. If they did research they'd probably see that you can't taint leagues or every team with the same brush.

Massive brain fart, didn't realise from the thumbnail it was Midtjylland. Thought Duelund was some Aussie I had never seen before.

I then stared at the thumbnail a little longer and saw Mabil :lol: ](*,)

Easiest way is to just highlight the text you want, then hit the bold button

Its ya boy awer. Would have pissed myself if he said Bangs. :lol:

Thanks mate

Some English coaches are good, no doubt. However, they have not had quality coach education mandated like in Spain, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Italy, or here. What you and I have done with FFA is pretty different from England in Football Association courses.

Another 442 poster has done Advanced coach education with FFA, and, the English FA. He emphatically states the English Football Association coach education was poor. A lot of the training was running without the ball, which is archaic in the top European counrtries.

Nevertheless, England has probably had the greatest coaching combination of all time - Brian Clough and Peter Taylor.

England also have some decent underage national team coaches, Steve Holland from Chelsea (there is some great Chelsea Academy stuff on the internet), and John Peacock with the English under 17s. Their teams play good football. =d>

Also, Brendan Rodgers is Northern Irish and to the best of my knowledge Gary Monk is English. These guys can coach teams to play proactive, circulation football. I'd also surmise a lot of what they impart has come from the continent.

Terry Venables was also a good English coach.

I'm not sure if you had these videos shown when you did your FFA C licence, but in ours they had some English Lower League coaches giving half time addresses. They were no different from the English comic coach - Mike Bassett.:lol:

Initially, I thought they were a comedy act, but sadly they weren't.](*,)

shame on th@ white boy, he'll never be black

The evidence is there with the the style of football many English teams play.

If one looks around the world few English coaches are in demand overseas in serious professional leagues.

It is arguable that few of them need to travel, because there is so much money and opportunity in the English game.

Compared to the number of Continental coaches coaching in England in the EPL, and even the Championship, there are few English coaches coaching in leagues with similar status to the EPL - Bundesliga, French Championat, La Liga and Serie A.

Stay on topic, please.

Was just about to post this!
