Sounding like Roy Hodgson could be the man. If everyone is fit I think there is a decent first 11 among our squad, although our defence has been awful all season. What would you guys make of this appointment?

Roy will organise you to within an inch of your lives but it will be dull as anything.
He will probably stop you losing so much but is there enough time for him to get you winning is the question.
What a way to run a club!

Most of the team that lost to Norwich do not look like Roy type players in my view. He favours conceding possession, a low block and counter-attacking football. He also expects his forwards to be highly disciplined and to pretty much defend most of the game. Sarr could do well when he returns in a Roy system which is a big positive for you. He does also speak several languages which will come in handy!

Not sure, he has enough time to get you organised and playing his system.

a mate just texted me that Roy worked for the Watford owner family sometime in the past at Udinese -

If that's true maybe that helps make sense of how it happened so quickly.

Also he says apparently Roy speaks Italian.

Yep, he speaks French, German, Italian, Norwegian & Swedish (and of course English)

 


Trivial fact - Palace used to win 5-1 at least once a season, maybe next season?

John Barnes says he still wants to manage.

Indeed, over 20 years ago.

Mr Hodgson wrote in his pre-match programme notes a few seasons ago :

"I worked with Watford's owner Gino Pozzo at Udinese many years ago and have always admired the talent he and his family have shown for unearthing new talent from all over the globe."

such linguistic talent.

But in none of those languages does he know how to say ''i want you to attack the final Third in a cavalier and entertaining way''

 


the 'Net-We-had' at the Etihad....again

He has been known to bellow out on the training ground "When we are attacking that's when we start to defend".
Hodgson drills into his players what must be done if the team loses possession - shape, distances etc etc.

Roy will be pleased they didn’t lose yesterday, but another 17 draws and they will only have 32 points which won’t be enough so they are going to have to win a few. The games against us will be massive and I’ll be honest and say I’m not looking forward to them.
