The funny thing is Kewell afterwards admitted that he wanted to play this way but the players just couldn’t execute at the level he wanted them to! Who could have guessed at league 2 level…
There is a revealing interview with the Old Bighead from December, it is only a 5 minute video...
...but from the get-go the Jolly Swagman tells us that it wasn't his coaching to blame & he wouldn't change a thing... ...no cobber... it was the "unprofessional" clubs that are to blame...
"I have been at four clubs, ONE WAS GOOD", wonder if that was also the only club that never actually sacked him...(?)
Also the IRONY of the first statement. Ermmm didn’t you stab a club in the back for money and then the club you went to went down😂
That says it all Thad😂 it wasn’t my coaching it was the players and clubs!!!
He can certainly never be accused of humility Unfortunately that character trait can also prevent people from learning from their experiences.
It is all a myth anyway, cos we very rarely actually played it FROM the back under his regime... ...in reality, we played it AROUND the back and after going nowhere, often for a few minutes... ...sometimes in desperation... gave it to a pressured Keeper, to enable a big hoof up-field...!
Sounds like its a rerun of the Kewell rain how many times did we play around at the back and the opposition pressed up and we lost the ball and the result was 1-0 to them.
