AVB won all his stuff with Porto which isn't hard really. It's Sunday league stuff.
And wasn't he sacked from his last two jobs? Was that because he was just too good for those teams?
Irrelevant where he won it, by that retort, BR should be able to easily win a cup and have a good run in Europe here.....hasn't happened yet. BR has been sacked twice before in no pressure jobs, because he [oops] up so badly.

Oh ok then. Why not get Lennon from Celtic then, they've won [oops] loads. In fact, I know a chap from my town who's s brilliant Sunday manager. Shall I give him a call?

the solution is too spend massive on cabeye and another tough midfield player possibly fer
until we can compete in that central area we will always lose to the big teams.. allen lucas isn't good enough
So basically Wanyama, the player we were linked with all Summer until he went to Southampton at the first offer. BR doesn't like these players and has no interest in them, he's said as much in the past, he doesn't like DM's, he wants skillful lightweight players who can pass the ball half a yard. My main problem with BR is that we have only one game plan which is death by football as he calls it. We play the same against all teams and when we face well organised teams with quick counter attackers, we pay for it. Look at Maureen, he would choose his team and his game plan based on the opposition, he went completely defensive against Arsenal and United and against us played David Luis in the centre to make sure Suarez gets isolated. That's the difference between someone who will adapt his game and someone who would stick to the plan no matter what, but then, BR is still learning.

Not to mention the fact we seem to be getting a lot of injuries and the players are knackered. Something else BR doesn't do is squad rotation, which is necessary in the modern game. BR has only 1 game plan, get the ball to Suarez, if that fails, prepare to lose. That's why I think AVB would be perfect for us, he's like Klopp and Rafa combined in to a younger model.

More like Laurel and Hardy combined into a younger model. If I remember correctly BR's game plan worked quite well against AVB earlier this month.

AVB has been sacked twice. As for Wanyama I agree he is a great player and exactly the kind of player we could do with and at the price he went for around £12 million would have been a great signing but it is an exaggeration to say we have been linked to him all summer. We were never heavily linked to him. Aresnal were linked to him more often than we were.

I don't think we were ever linked with a true defensive midfielder under BR, I was following sych rumours closely as I thought that this was a priority at least as a cover to Lucas. It looks to me that BR prefers smaller technical players instead of the tough physical midfielders, I hope he has learnt now.

BR rotated the squad frequently when we were in Europe last year, and the cups as well and got slated for it. He was accused by some of disrespecting the competition. This season we haven't had as many games and he has kept a more settled side and then people complain he doesn't rotate. If he did rotate more and we lost matches the same people would slate him for rotating needlessly and not knowing what he is doing. I think Klopp and Rafa would take exception to that. I'm fully behind BR but I understand that some people feel he only has one game plan and I would like to see us sign a proper def midfielder and learn how to mark from set pieces. However he's a lot more flexible than AVB who is just down right stubborn. When we played Spurs even with 10 men and 3 goals down they were still playing a high line.
