Re: [LU] All quiet on the manager front

2023-06-28 Thread Neil Hackett
I have been thinking, hoping, that it’s all waiting for the turnover to be 
finalized.

I’m guessing Farke, and that works for me. Hopefully the club know who the new 
manager will be, and they are providing input on players.

Fully agree!
Let’s get after them. If we have a strength it’s in the attack.

There’s no point in sitting back with the worst defence in the league.

Re: [LU] Fwd: Forest

2023-04-05 Thread Neil Hackett
Agree that Ayling is a big worry. I love him but he is being targeted.

For about a month teams have been sending a diagonal ball over him knowing the 
winger will beat him to it.

It also appeared on TV that Forest were happy for him to receive the ball as we 
passed out from the back; once he received a pass they closed quickly and he 
was turning it over a lot.

Both wingers were very good, not sure Gnonto has a way back into the starting 
line up yet.

Agree with both of these…

I think we’ve seen 2 of the 3 that will go down at ER recently - Southampton 
and Forest - hard to pick who was worse.

Most impressed yesterday with McKennie - he was throwing those challenges in 
and using the ball well. Harrison and Sinisterra (and Gnonto, and Sommerville) 
using the width of the park, just demonstrate what a nonsense Marsch’s narrow 
formation was.

Ayling had a shocking first half against a poor strike force - its a worry.

Bamford is doing that infuriating thing he - fluffs chances, both for himself 
and also when he has the ball and teammates in good positions - but, the way he 
works the central defenders and pulls them all over the shop is second to none. 
I did think that Rodrigo should have come on for him after 65 or so, to rest up 
Bamford and let our leading scorer have a go at such a weak defence.

Looking forward to seeing Wober back soon, too.

3 points at the w/e and the world looks very different.

Re: [LU] Scum

A very enjoyable game.

I'm going to really enjoy watching Adams and Mckennie play together. They are 
going to be a nightmare to play against. It's not very often we have a stronger 
midfield than scum.

Thought Bamford was ok. He does look like someone who has not played much 
recently. But, he laid on the first goal and almost made a second for Willie.

Harrison was wasteful. He found all kinds of space but could not make his 
passes.

We played a good team, on the road and gave a good account. If we can maintain 
that level of play we will soon be safe.

I don't know how much Fred cost but Adams is much better than him.

What a magnificent team performance given the situation. I thought the game 
completely changed during a three minute period when both Adams and then 
Mckennie got yellow cards. This basically neutered their aggression which up 
until that point had the SCUM midfield shaking in their boots. From that point 
forth Adams and McKennie had to be concerned about staying on the pitch and 
this allowed SCUM more time on the ball and created fewer turnovers for us to 
transition with.
Hopefully the "Bash Brothers" can repeat their performance on Sunday, as it 
didn't look like Fernandez, Fred and Sabitzer liked it "up 'em".

Two points I suppose.

The players look like they still want to be playing for Marsch. They are still 
working very hard.

Moyes must be under even more pressure. They have spent a lot of money and are 
really struggling. Their new striker has 2 goals. No one is fully sold on 
Rodrigo and he has 9.

I think Marsch has aged in the short time he has been at the club. He looks 
really stressed.

 Lots of debate re whether tonight is a must win? For Marsch it certainly is -

I find myself in agreement with everyone else. We need to change.

I really wanted this to work. I like some of the ideas, and at times it looks

But not anymore. Having lost two games like that we need to move on.  I can’t

In terms of recruitment, I know we need more players but, Aaronson, Adams and

Re: [LU] Fwd: Official hes gone

2022-02-27 Thread Neil Hackett
I think I am going to have to agree with most of this. Like everyone else I 
wanted things to continue to work out for Bielsa, but they are not working at 
all. What he has done is genuinely incredible, but it's a disaster right now. 
Bielsa always made us difficult to play against,  it's ridiculously easy at the 
moment. I am not sure if he was unable or unwilling to institute and effective 
defence. We need to start grinding out results to stay up. If we are relegated 
all of those players listed will leave, at a fraction of their value.

I don't know much about the new guy, but we needed someone new. I had hoped we 
could scrape by this year and replace him with someone with Premier league 
experience. This decision took a lot of courage, hopefully it works out.

Life around LUFC is going to be toxic for the rest of the season, and no-one 
knows whether we’ll survive in the Premiership side. I’ve shed tears since 
hearing the news last night - we have never and will never have a manager who 
so thoroughly transforms a club, from the pitch, it’s mentality, it’s public 
‘persona’, the sheer exuberance - Marcelo was a genuine one-off. Yet despite 
all of that, I’m still of the opinion the board had to act. Yes, they may well 
have been eyeing the pound signs, and they had clearly lined up Jesse Marsch 
from the summer onwards, but Marcelo was so set in his ways that if change is 
required then a parting of the ways was the only outcome. Right up to the post 
Spurs post-match interview, Bielsa was still insisting his way is THE way, 
despite the evidence suggesting otherwise?

I don’t necessarily think the list of players Nick listed will all leave, but 
if they do then hopefully they will demonstrate their value on the pitch in the 
next 12 games. I don’t subscribe to lots of fan views that the players have let 
the club down - many simply arn’t good enough, and the man-to-man approach 
against the best Premiership players has been humiliating to watch. I do wonder 
how the Bielsa way has impacted regarding our injury list though - it is 
logical that it has to be partly responsible.

I also wonder if any players were consulted in this decision? Obviously we may 
never find out, but I’d be amazed if senior players hadn’t been asked for their 
views?

There’ll be more tears shed in chez Lee, but let’s remember the mantra

Re: [LU] Wolves are animals!

2021-02-19 Thread Neil Hackett
It’s funny how perspective works Robert.

I look at that line up and don’t like it at all.

I don’t see how we get the ball to Bamford in good spots.

Struijk looks to me like he may be a solid defender one day. I don’t think he 
is up for where he is playing today.

I hope to be wrong! Talk in two hours.

Re: [LU] Blades

2020-09-27 Thread Neil Hackett
I agree with most of this.

Thought Koch had a very good game, he was good at the end when they were 
playing longball.

Rodrigo is active and positive.

An excellent game for Bamford and Meslier.

Poveda worked very hard but I'm not sure he accomplished much.

I was concerned when Kalvin picked up an early booking, but he was good. He 
covered a lot of ground.

A great result, if we keep picking up wins against bottom half teams we should 
stay up with comfort.

Subject: [LU] Blades

Tough, tight game which could have gone eiher way. They had the best chances 
but our keeper made 2 world class saves.
Overall, I thought we just edged it with some great attacking play in the 2nd 
half.

Miesler - 9. Superb saves. I worry a bit when he sticks to his line for corners.
Ayling - 7. Some good play including a good shot but he got caught out a couple 
of times, once when his ridiculous fall over act didn't buy a free kick from 
the ref.
Dallas - 8. Strong running, created some good chances. Obviously not a left 
back and their best chances came down their right / our left.
Koch - 9. Very commanding. Looks the part. Ben who ?
Cooper - 7. Battled hard but the way he defends for corners will cost us a few 
penalties.
Phillips - 7. Low key, did the simple things well and one decent free kick. I 
think we leave a lot of space in our midfield at times.
Klich - 7. Lots of running as usual. Not as effective going forward.
Harrison - 8. Great second half. His crossing is improving.
Roberts - 3. Didn't deliver. Looks lacklustre.
Costa - 6. Worked hard but didn't really happen for him.
Bamford - 8. Great goal, worked hard.
Subs:
Rodrigo - I thought he changed the game. He looks like a good player which is 
good to see cos I'd not seen anything to date.
Poveda - terrorised them. Will he start against City as Harrison can't play.

Re: [LU] Liverpool musings

2020-09-14 Thread Neil Hackett
I agree with many of the points raised by others and also feel optimism.



  *   We were able to play the way we wanted. We were fast but did not spend 
the whole time chasing,
  *   We were able to create many turnovers. We were playing one of the best 
teams in the world but we disrupted them.
  *   We struggled last year against teams that sat back and soaked up 
pressure, but how many teams are going to do that?
  *   The Bamford goal could get him rolling.

Subject: [LU] Liverpool musings

Having watched the game a couple of times now, I wonder how many other managers 
will now be thinking ‘how can we overload Liverpool’s defence like that?’. I’d 
have had Van Dijk down as one of the Prem’s best defenders, but after that 
performance, I’m not so sure - he doesn’t like it up him Capt Mannering!

As I’ve just quipped to a Liverpool wise-ass, they’re just an expensive 
Sheffield United, scoring from dead-balls and penalties :-) I much prefer to 
see goals from open play - as I told him, we might have lost, but we won! 
Klich’s goal in particular was a gem.

Bielsa - I’ve watched a few times, and he didn’t look like he fancied spending 
any more time than he had to with Klopp. Of course Bielsa might be of the view 
that there’s a virus out there, and wants to stay safe, but he definitely 
exuded a ‘yeah, whatever’ body language. He also looked bloody angry!

There were the same tired mantras re ‘can they keep it up all season?’, but we 
know the answer to that, and in a smaller league and 2 players per position 
we’ll be fine. I expect a very different team against ‘Ull tomorrow - it’ll be 
interesting to see if Rodrigo plays? Normally I wouldn’t be too bothered about 
getting knocked out, but not against Hull!

Fulham on Satdi will be a test - they know what to expect, and were a bit of a 
bogey team, but we need the points.

Isn’t it strange how a defeat has put us all at ease? That might change if we 
drop points against Fulham and the Blades!

Joined around 1999.

Now have a 12 year old boy. I tried him at football but he prefers rugby, and 
is a solid scrum half. No real interest in Leeds.

And an 11 year old girl. A good centre mid but she much prefers, and does 
better at (ice hockey).
My God we are all old.

Just to aggravate you all...

I watched the second half of the Swansea game and thought we did well. We 
forced them into countless turnovers. That is how you score against an 
organized team.

I have not seen very much this year. It has just been another wasted year. 
However, that was really disappointing, and i was fully prepared to be 
disappointed. 

They really look poorly coached. You can't coach talent but you can coach 
structure. Well prepared teams are always strong off the ball. Today it looked 
like we had never played together. Players were always poor spaced, too close 
together or too far apart.

My God you people who pay to watch that have my respect.

We are going to get an inexperienced manager in over his head I think. A change

Re: [LU] Leics a few thoughts

2013-08-12 Thread Neil Hackett
Saw the second half only, on an internet stream! Still here is what I saw.
 
A very well organized team. We defended set pieces very well and were difficult 
to break down once we got back and had the defence set up.
 
If we can keep this up we will be difficult to beat.
 
If Poleon and the big lad had started we very well could have scored. Playing a 
big striker with a fast striker is not exactly a new idea.
 
Poleon tries to make things happen. They don't always work nut at least he 
tries. I get tired of watching players in good positions just pass the ball 
back. Drop your shoulder and get in the box!

Re: [LU] New levels of indifference

2012-06-25 Thread Neil Hackett

I agree with you Dave. We won our group. I was never impressed but we played to 
our strengths. There were several bad teams there. Does anyone ever man mark 
anymore? What if we told Parker to run around besides Pirlo all game and deny 
him the ball. He was never going to contribute going forward so there is no 
loss there. He gets a yellow then someone else takes uo the job. Please let one 
of these ownership rumours be true.

Re: [LU] takeover latestish

2012-05-30 Thread Neil Hackett

Certainly all of their teams have struggled, but it is not as bad as it sounds.
 
They are not at all shy with their money, they are more than willing to spend 
on players, management and facilities. They would certainly get Thorp Arch back.
 
When they choose a manager they back them, they just don't always pick the 
right one. They are not perfect but it would provide hope, something we lack at 
the moment. The management of both the basketball and hockey team were both in 
demand before they came here, with track records of success. Both arew paid as 
well as anyone in their respective leagues.

Re: [LU] 2-1

2012-04-26 Thread Neil Hackett

As a fan of the sport I enjoyed the drama of both of the games this week. 
 
Having grown up outside of the UK I am not all that bothered about historical 
grudges from the distant past, besdies ManU. I see where they are from, but 
don't share them.
 
I was glad that Bayern won. First of all Ronaldo lost and that makes me happy. 
Also, I really like how Bayern played. A complete team game; organized, 
physical and solid without the ball yet constructive and positive with it. They 
are going to tear Chelsea a new one and if England meet Germany this summer it 
will be the same there.
 
They attack with the pace that Rich always refer to.

Re: [LU] Hammers

2012-03-17 Thread Neil Hackett

I watched it on TV and was very satisfied. The team worked extremely hard. 
Snodgrass covered an a wful lot of ground, I lost count of how often he came 
back to give vital cover. I thought everyone played well, except for O'Dea. I 
would not say O'dea played poorly but he does not inspire confidence.I was very 
happy with Becchio. Just look at the goal, he worked very hard to regain 
possession, played a simple ball to the wing and then put in the rebound. The 
goal was not difficult but it was brave,  there was a high boot very close to 
his face.Win, lose or draw this is a team I am happy to cheer for. Hard working 
and organized, lots of enthusiasm, everyone doing their job. Get well, Muamba.

Re: [LU] Leeds in midfielder upgrade shock

2012-01-20 Thread Neil Hackett

I tink it's a really good move to get him back, but I am daydreaming about 
Delph, Clayton and Howson in there together.
 
An interesting read that Howson had decided not to sign again in the summer. If 
this is fact then 2million is a good price. Will Delph's wages swallow this?
 
If we end up in the premiership, stop laughing, what would it cost to keep him?

Was he the one who was unfamiliar with punctuation. He posted in some kind of 
stream of consciousness. 
Perhaps we just did not understand it.

Re: [LU] Monday's game

2012-01-08 Thread Neil Hackett

I enjoyed the game. Some absolutely incredible talent out there. Can we say 
that 10 man City are better than 11 man United? I look forward to seeing Yaya 
Toure manhandling the Scummers next time they play. I think the refereeing 
deciion was a cae of the letter of the law over the spirit. It was not a 
dangerous tackle bit it was two footed. Usually it's only red if you leave the 
ground though. I enjoy the sport. I prefer to watch Leeds but enjoy most 
competetive games.

2011-11-23 Thread Neil Hackett

I agree that a free is not really a good idea. He is an asset, you can't give 
them away to competitors.
Emotion says to tell him to get stuffed, but if we can turn this asset into 
another asset then I would do that. I don't think there's much chance of 
getting any real money for him though.
I am sure this has been discussed but what prompted his refusal to play? Is he 
tapped up?

In North American sports teams tend to be run by two people, a general manager 
who is in charge of personel and a coach who does practices, tactics and games. 
 
These are two different skills and a person can certainly be good at one and 
not the other.

The first thing I would do is get a new goalie. That is done.
 
Bring in a defensive coach. It may cost him his job if he does not.
 
After that, stay the course. We were doing well before the goalie was hurt. It 
is a long season and there are lots of injuries for everybody before this is 
over.

It's always a question of time before the real answers to our debates can be 
settled ? 
 
What did happen to Ian Harte when it was realised he didn't have the pace to 
play in the premiership ? Obviously the list expert was telling everyone at 
least a season before that he would cost us dearly. 
 
Where did Mcphail end up playing most of his football ? Never good enough to 
play at the top level despite his 2 goals at Chelsea. THe list expert couldn't 
convince people though ? 
 
What did Bakke do when he left Leeds ? THe list expert knew he was overrated 
and he even struggled to make an impact when we went down. 
 
What did fat b'stard Viduka do when he left Leeds - not a right f;cking lot. 
The list expert always thought he was talenented but he didn't have the drive 
or ambition. His career petered out. 
 
What happened to Paul Butler and Sean Gregan ? Both never good enough to play 
in a team hoping for promotion. The list expert was telling people this way 
before they came to a sticky end in the Watford play off match. 
 
I could go on .

I have seen him play a few times.

I would say that he has done well enough that he could play regularly for
more than half of the teams in the Premiership.

He is certainly not England class but I'm not sure he's that much worse
 than
Barry.

I think so too. On paper our defence should be solid but it is not. 
Last year it cost us the playoffs, this year it could cost us much more.

Big day for Somma. If he wants the spot he needs to be effective. 
 
Becchio can be an effective sub today. After 70 minutes of the game the tired 
full backs see him come on and know they still have a lot of work to do.

Re: [LU] Defence

2011-02-26 Thread Neil Hackett

It got better as the half went on. We hit the bar and had a penalty shout. 
 
I think a lot of the problem is the lack of support from the midfield. It is 
extremely difficult to defend when someone is running at you at full speed.
 
I think the game evened out a bit when Gadel started to track back and help. I 
assume Grayson was yelling at him to get back.
 
That being said our centre backs are not very good in the air and this is the 
cause of problems as well.
 
If it was scoreless I would put on another midfielder, as it is I am not sure 
what to do. We need more from Kilkenny.

Re: [LU] 1-2

2010-10-16 Thread Neil Hackett

A win on the road is always good. We were far from excellent but got the three. 
Lots of teams will lose points at the Riverside this year, even though the 
hosts were absolutely awful.
 
I am pleased we ended up with Grayson rather than Strachan.
 
It was a peculiar game in that I thought players were effective for periods of 
time and then disappeared. For instance Faye, either doing really well or not 
doing anything at all.  I though the right back was solid.
 
Was it my TV or was our Keeper a bit on the tubby side?
 
Certainly two well taken goals, make that three, because their's was also nice.
 
I almost forgot, we really missed Watt. I believe it would have been a 
comfortable win if he had stayed on. Very effective going forward and in 
defence.
