Fuck this stupid game
I'm sure Ricki wanted some more goals from his wide guys and midfielders. Its true that Hernandez is a step up in quality from any other guy we have tried in that role.
But the game plan and formation sound eerily similar to me, I don't understand why people are proclaiming it as a new style. The only thing he has said that sounds dissimilar is that once we get it up front he wants to play it around a bit rather than get it into the box quickly. I'll go along to the game tonight and have a look, I doubt I will learn too much from that. Will have to wait until the season starts but I am not expecting anything radically different from what we have had in the past.
Fuck this stupid game
rjmiller i think you are reading what you want to read.
The post that started this was had the following tactical information...
”If you have such a solid foundation right down the middle of the park you will be able to play an attacking game.
”We have a very good goalkeeper in Glen Moss, two rock-solid centre backs in Andrew Durante and Ben Sigmund, a strong defensive midfielder in Manny Muscat, Carlos Hernandez as an attacking midfielder and last season's second highest scorer Jeremy Brockie.
”I think we've got a solid spine which is supplemented by a range of good quality players.”
All players Ricki signed
Merrick said Wellington was likely to play in a 4-2-1-3 formation.
By far the most common formation for the last 4 years
”I've always liked a back four with two fullbacks who can attack and actually become wingers and two strong, uncompromising midfielders in the middle of the park,” he said.
Sounds like a Ricki gameplan to a tee for me. Where is the difference?Fuck this stupid game

A big reason for us getting into the finals so often was because the players played above themselves due to the good environment. Ricki deserves some credit.

Having spent some quality fanboy time with a few of the senior players recently. I can confidently report that the environment/approach etc is, funnily enough, quite different under the new gaffer - after all, that's why we sacked riki, and signed someone new....

would it be possible to loan him to team wellington? im not sure how it works when it comes to a semi pro club and also if those silly rules would apply (the 2 week waiting period thing) if nix were to cancel the loan.

which means that you can get away with saying anything* - with all due respect, I think that WangChung is a weapon of the highest order.

Ernie's Report Card - after less than 8 weeks in the job
Fresh, open approach with media: A
Clear communication of desired style of play required to win and entertain: A+
Quickly released players who wouldn't fit the bill: A+
Trialled a whole bunch of young maybes: A
Signed some quality imports in key positions: B+ ('regista' or 'volante' playmaking deep midfielder still to come i hope)
Offered contracts to some young players with good potential: A
Seems to have energised team spirit: A
Really, hard to fault too much of what he's done in 7 weeks.
What I 'd like to see next:
Sign quality #6 (see above)
Plenty of warm up games pre-season
Get the FSW sorted so that we have more players in a professional set up coming through
Get clear on the TW relationship
Kotahitanga. We are one.
Sack him anyway.

Alex Rufer sounds the goods. Don't forget we signed Tyler Boyd as a 17 year old. Luke Adams still fits under the youth spot age, and I'm sure he'll get game time, so why not Rufer?
If Rufer has indeed signed, and we also nab this young right back or even Justin Gulley, everyone can at least admit that Ernie has faith in the country's youth!

Perhaps we should demand a Labour-esque approach and mandate that certain positions can ONLY be filled by kiwi players.
