HN keeps bringing it up and the naysayers must be missing it, but do we not remember the football in the early nix seasons?
Herbert bought daniel and felipe and tried very hard to play very good football. Felipe left and herbert has never been able to get someone to fill those shoes - he tried with Fred and has always made comments about finding a ball playing attacking midfielder, but it just didnt happen.
Despite that He found us a winning formula with this team and it generally worked the last 3 seasons.
I don't buy that he's a one-trick wonder at all. Next season will be the test.
Actually bringing up season one and the Nix playing nice football is not really good evidence that Herbert can succesfully coach this style. We came LAST that season. Which is fairly damming proof that the only other time that Herbert has tried to coach this style of football we ended up where we are now....Bottom of the League!!!!!!!!
Again, you are ignoring the fact that that squad was thrown together from players that were not the greatest.
