@queenie4rmnola@KNOWtheLEDGE4 What the fuck are you waffling? How can you compare someone with a legitimate disability in tourettes, with an individual who would expose themselves in public to children?
@ibroxrocks Better balance to our midfield once Aasgaard went off, he’s not got the intensity to cut it in these games.
Raskin bossed that second half.
Russell Martin - Total Football Option
Firstly have to put aside "Russell Martin - The Player" for us as he has self admittedly "He was shite" at Rangers.
Instead lets focus on "Russell Martin - The Coach"
Had the pleasure of attending an SFA Event where he presented his very clear "Style of Play" in 433 at his clubs and how quickly he can implement it.
The previous 5 seasons, his club have been the best passers in each League Campaign:
2023/24: Southampton 69% - 1st
2022/23: Southampton 64% - 1st
2021/22: Swansea 63% - 1st
2020/21: Swansea 64% - 1st
2019/20: MK Dons 67% - 1st
They were also the most "Accurate Passers" in every season by at least 40 Passes per Game over 2nd.
He took over Southampton after relegation, 19 players left that summer & had to build an entire squad over the summer.
Opening Day v Sheff Wednesday:
- 2-1 Win Away
- 23 Shots at Goal
- 7 Big Chances
- 80% Possession
That is the kind of instant impact we keep being told Clement needs time to build and its utter nonsense.
It's also not just passing the ball for the sake of, those teams have also featured in the Top 3 every season for:
- Chances Created
- Shots at Goal
- Big Chances Missed
- xG
He also massively develops players and the word he did with Matt O'Riley as a coach, at MK Dons to get him to Celtic should be noted for the type of impact he could have on Diomande, Raskin, Igamane, Jefte & Nsiala
Additionally, Southampton had a Set-Piece Coach/Analyst and Russell Martin was very open and honest about how much time he spends on this and they were the best in Championship last season (Scoring from 14 Corners)
This is The Man For the Job & Available
