give me an example of a plan A that harry had and then give me an example of a PLan b that he could or should have had.
infact, an exmaple of an alex ferguson plan B would the good too
edit: LOL.....and you are right , you cant make a comment, use it as a debating point and then when it gets scrutinised , go and call it a glib LOL. Next time to save alot of people the effort of responding to comments which dont have that much sincerity and / or meaning...just put something like *inserts glib* or *glib alert* and we would probably just skip that point entirely
Such a shame African, we always got on so well yet something seems to have happened ever since Harry...ah well, we will find man-love again!!!! ;-) ANYWAY, to take the challenge.
*Burnley away, second leg of the semi-final, 4-4-2, failing miserably, no plan B
*Arsenal away, last season, 4-4-2, we go 2-0 up but are losing the game in midfield and it's only a matter of time before we get taken (something he admitted), no plan B (or to be accurate, no EFFECTIVE plan B)
*Chelski semi-final of the cup, 4-5-1, going OK, some terrible judgments from the ref, we are allowed to fall apart with absolutely nothing coming from the touchline
* Real Madrid away, plan A shot by zealous ref and silly Crouchy, no plan B for this scenario (remember, we did have a similar CL game in Milan, you'd have thought we'd be prepared for this sort of thing after that!)
In response to what he should've done, 4-5-1 at effeminates soon after we went 2 up (been discussed to death), certainly NOT persevere at Madrid with VdV as a lone forward, instead do a Chelski, sit, park the bus in two very organized banks of four and absolutely deny them the space to play...
You know African, I'll take scrutiny all day long. Scrutinize away. But now you answer my points. And furthermore, explain to me how he could've played the likes of Parker to a point where they will now NOT start the season because they were fudged beyond belief, and how we ended up in a situation where we had Sebasstian Bassong, a perfectly FINE CB when we made the CL, yet Harry decided to consistently play Ledders game after game even after EVERYONE saw it was not happening and the boy was badly hurt. He should've had an operation! Now he will retire. Finally, when you HAVE a whole bunch of injured defenders yet you have a whole slew of good midfielders, why could you not work on developing a 3-5-2 or 3-5-1-1 to suit the players you have? I think we know the answer.
Apologies for being part of this thread descending. I suggest we either revive and old thread or start a new one if we want to scrutinize each other beyond glibness and into details, because I'll do it all day long so delighted am I to finally see a man at our club who will prepare and at least go down fighting if, indeed, he goes down at all.
