Alex Kintner Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Really interesting. Hartley saying Malofeev was the only manager he ever played under who actually de-motivated the players. Naysmith saying that in 98 JJ announced the starting lineup on the Monday and did the team talk on the training ground. Pre-match all he said to the players was “go out and make yourselves legends” ?

Cruyff Turn Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Give that a watch @To Be Frank Sir Paul talks all about Levein, Burley, Malofeev, Ivanauskas and Rix. Tells the story about how Levein slaughtered him on a Monday morning after a derby and did an analysis of the game for 60 minutes on how shite Paul played. ?

LogicalEric Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It was after we got beat 2-1 at Celtic Park.

He started out wide as a youngster not most of his career, we signed him because he had a good season at St Johnstone where Billy Stark played him centrally. He then came here and settled eventually in the middle, Robbo had him attacking more then Burley had him pressing high and breaking into the box and scoring goals. My point was slaughtering him after playing him at left wing in a derby at ER where he had failed as a wide player , he rarely used his left foot, was a bit much really.

Ibrahim Tall Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 To be honest Malofeev career pre-Hearts suggests he was actually a good coach/manager. The main issue being he arrived here 20 years later than that record and was still using the same 20/25 year old methods. Football had moved on and he hadn’t.

To my untrained eye, it looks like football is played at a faster pace, with more emphasis on quickly winning the ball in midfield and getting it forward to 3 front men to create chances. And passing for the sake of retaining possession has become less important. And full backs have become more important than outright wingers. Do teams really use wingers anymore?

Just my brief thoughts on the evolution of football Since 2004, when Levein left, after introducing a fair few innovations that other managers up here were not doing: the game has got faster teams play front threes the emphasis has changed to getting the ball forward faster passing to retain possession is less important fullbacks are more useful than wingers Is that correct? Before I attempt to discuss these points, and how they are things that have changed since Levein was here last... and how he has failed to acknowledge them... sticking with some kind of Dinosaur football from before these things were the norm... like Rick is trying to say... ?
