What do we think ? After the fantastic wins against Chelsea , Liverpool and Arsenal, Sam went into quite a bit of detail about how we did it, especially how we exploited the space behind the full backs. Got me thinking today about the spurs game and how their full backs bomb on and I wondered if Sam's free speaking may have given the spuds a heads up. Don't think I've ever heard any other manager go into quite such detail of how they won a game.
has resisted writing a single post on the Ross McCormack thread !!! |

No - all he is doing is saying what any manager worth his salt would do. Assess the opposition and exploit their weaknesses

Can't see Spurs sitting back against us, even with the knowledge that we know they have attacking full-backs. The way other teams tend to play is hardly a mystery and nor is the fact we have quality and pace in wide areas and Benteke up front. I think it's more a case of bigger teams not thinking they need to adopt a different style when playing us. Spurs have much better CBs than Arsenal or Liverpool so I don't think they will be as worried about our tactics.

He probably reveals 0.1% of what he knows but is interesting and informative instead of spouting the usual s*** and cliches that managers come out with. "Game of two halves". "The ref needs to have a look at himself". "We go again". And as for the bollocks that Pardew used to spout whenever he was interviewed - different planet.

I was also surprised to hear BS describing Arsenal and Liverpool defensive weaknesses rarely hear that from a Manager talking to the media. It is wrong to put it out there I think as it may effect how other teams play them stick to your own team. No harm done tho I don't think and he is expressing himself as his confidence has grown with recent success. Its impressive he knows what he is about.

No. Indeed so much detailed anaylsis done these days with this modern day technology. Bit different to the old days where managers/coaches/scouts used to use paper/cards to write down the movement of players at free kicks, corners and in general play.All the detailed stuff is now watched a plethora of times as part of a rigorous analysis of the oposition.

No problem with explaining how he did it.
