This one?



That's all lovely, I just worry that when he tries to introduce such concepts as "having a plan," "trusting your team mates to play the right ball" and "freedom in the final third" then he might be met by some puzzled looks and blank expressions.
But Risso, I think what Henry was saying was that Guardiola drills it relentlessly in to the players in training so even if he gets puzzled looks the first time they eventually do understand. Later in that clip he gave an example of when he ignored Peps rules , scored , went in at half time feeling pleased with himself and was promptly subbed !
How incredible it would be to see our manager a) having an intelligent coherent style of play that consists of more than ‘lacing wor boots up’ and b) turning up to training to ensure the players and coaching staff understand and follow it. If even half of Guardiola’s wisdom has been passed on to Henry then he would be worth a shout, but how much better if we could prise away Arteta who lives and breathes it every day.

Henry, I suppose in the great hope he’s as good as a manager as he was a player.

Lets make a list, I'll start with...

Bobby Charlton
Bobby Moore

Zinedine Zidane
Pep Guardiola
Franz Beckenbauer
Kenny Dalglish

I'd rather Henry, but wouldn't be opposed to Faria.

Jesus, I'm amazed we're being linked with either.

Having watched that clip, I'd imagine most players would do as they're told. Kodjia would be an interesting one....

He will need some good coaches around him. Organisation has left us wanting of late.

I think we have no chance with this quartet:
Carlo Ancelotti>Has done it all and  probably no longer motivated by this sort of challenge.
Luis Enrique > Post Barca considers himself a CL coach.
Laurent Blanc > ditto post PSG
Antonio Conte > ditto post Chelscum

I'd have thought that would suit Kodjia. "Stand out on the touch line and do nothing until the ball's in the final third."

Not Henry.

I'm sufficiently unfamiliar with this Faria person that I can't vote for them either.

In defence of the_ads, I think he was listing good players who became good managers. Not potentials for this job.
