Has anyone seen Boateng recently? Maybe we were listening to the wrong coach because I agree, just wonder where this was previously when it was his job.
I think King is looking for instant success, I’d want any manager to prove he can get a tune from the players we have before opening the purse strings. Especially Lampard given his transfer record.
My worry is it’s the Spurs tactic of “just make yourself a nuisance while everyone else defends”, which is giving Sheff Utd far more respect at home than they deserve.
If it can get the best out of Torp and Rudoni it could work well, but we need to get them on the ball in dangerous areas and not have them sucked back into a flat four defending all game.
Will really depend on how Bassette does. Hopefully not isolated up front while we play 9ATB. Needs players to be brave and push up and support him. He’s not Vik and won’t be able to win the battle on his own or hold up for support much.
