Salmonbones Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I'm not inclined to thow owt at Beattie at the moment. We have so many people playing in strange positions for them, playing negative football and on the face of it a system out players don't seem to know so well. I still don't know what some of the new players positions actually are not having really followed them before they joined us. I have no clue if he's a good coach or not, but you'd assume he's worked with some of the best and some of it should have rubbed off on him.

Sefton owl Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I think the lack of creativity is the main issue (Harris/Reach/Bannan). Strikers rely on chances to score goals and we simply aren’t creating enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishOwl Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Is hoofball something that actually requires much training for strikers? I recall it's always been labeled as the tactic for a team with insufficient skills. Just lob it and someone will try to head it somewhere. I'm sure Beattie is frustrated at seeing our current "delivery". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s taking then in training. what's he doing on the training ground as it’s clearly not working on the pitch He's saying 'hands up if you are a striker' no hands go up, Rhodes hides behind Paterson. Beattie goes, quiet day then and goes and makes a brew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's bring asked to coach the strikers not manage the team. Completely different jobs and his managerial record doesn't tell us anything about whether he is a good coach. The poor blokes only been here a few weeks so it's a bit harsh to say hes brought nothing to the party. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monks always been a 433, 442, 4231 man. He’s become so stubborn on the formation that the only way we have changed is when one of those defenders has been sent off. Surely Beattie and Hughes are in his ear saying this isn’t working. won't matter if they are pep clotel says he won't listen ,Monks way or no way are the words used i believe , could be sour grapes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Kidd, one of Pep's assistant managers, has managed 25 games (for Blackburn) with a return of 1.08 points per game, someone should tell Pep he should fire him as he's clearly useless.

No, becuase clearly Brian Kidd is proving of some use as Man City don't get beat every week. Last season fans were giving Monk a free pass because he didn't have his right-hand man James Beattie as though Beattie was some sort of coaching genius who would turn things around. Guess what, we are still playing the same dire football and Beattie has changed anything in that respect, not even ay signs that we are playing in a different manner. If anything we are playing worse football now than we were in the first few games after lockdown. Give him time though eh....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
