Version 2.

 

I kept Propper (4) and Balogun (27) in - you can really see how much better Propper is with his passing, with strong connections to Jefte and Raskin. Balogun had very few connections with anyone. 

 

Jefte, Raskin and Diomande also have strong connections.

 

Raskin is our hub.

 

A lot of connections between Tavernier and Ridvan, but the latter didn't do much with it.

Rousseau,

 

Is the above an original Jackson Pollock or one of your own finger painted creations?

Very interesting and illuminating Rousseau.

I've taken bits of open source code from different places, sourced the data and assembled it myself. 

 

It's now an original Rousseau. 

 

[Rousseau 11,462]

Did anyone watch Russell Martin on MNF last night? 

 

He speaks well, knows his stuff and has the ability to implement a recognisable style of play. It's remarkable that he had begun his coaching badges at 17-years-old - or, at least thinking about coaching. He studied right the way through his playing career. 

 

I suspect parts of our fanbase would be bored with his possession-based style, but I'd seriously consider appointing Martin our next manager.

Correct me if this is pish, but did he not follow the current fashion of sticking to his plan, going down with the ship?

Looks like early Buckminster Fuller.

So, this is what  working from home for Revenue and Customs entails.

No, you're correct. He mentioned it, saying every manager he spoke to said 'do it your way' so there are no regrets. 

 

It's a bit of a nonsense, though. As was mentioned on MNF, coaches like Dyche and Allardyce aren't told to change plans when they get pumped every week. 

 

On MNF they broke down some of Southampton's big mistakes that cost them goals from build-up. One was because the player made a mistake in how he received the ball, and one actually went against his direct orders. The other was a mix-up. It was clear mistakes that could be rectified. And a lack of quality. 

 

Martin did mention looking at how he conveyed his message and that he would change things in future. But, the philosophy would remain. 

 

He mentioned how they didn't get the recruitment right, underestimating how athletic PL players were. He would make changes there in future. 

 

I always thought his philosophy was excellent, but I thought it impressive how he conveyed his philosophy and also how he broke down what didn't go well. He's the type we should approach. 

 

I feel this could be the best time to get him, otherwise he's out of our league with any success - they could only get Rodgers because he got Leicester relegated. 

 

Or, his career has already peaked and he'll be another dud...
