What does John Terry actually DO?!

[Nii Lamptey]

So far, Smith has been taking all of the flack, but as a former England defender and Premier League captain, why is Terry not getting any grief.
All I ever see of him are instagram posts of trips abroad/mini skiing holidays when he should be coaching the hell out of the team?!

He shouldn't be allowed to get away with this scot free. Sick of the Chelsea love in, and you’ve got to question if he’s taking us for a ride... cos he’s certainly having zero impact on the training pitch and in the dressing room.

Terry has zero track record as a coach.

Obviously not a lot!

Always happens when the shit hits the fan blame the assistants.
With that midfield in front of that back 4 with Target.
Yeh let’s blame Terry.

I’m not blaming him solely, I’m just saying he’s not blameless in all this.

And honest question, what DOES he do?
Yes, our midfield is fragile as hell, but surely a defensive coach’s buck doesn't end specifically with defenders? Teams defend as a unit. Our team doesn’t have a fucking clue! In fact, they’re getting worse.

How the fuck do I know, but the manager is changing the midfield every week but keeping the same system.
Add to that we don’t hold the ball in attack and keep giving the ball away.
I am not saying he is totally blameless but the Manager is responsible for selection formation and tactics.

I sit behind the dug outs and he was giving one of the ball boys some instruction or other today, and then Saints scored their 2nd seconds after!

I'd just like to point out that Dean Smith is the Head Coach, the buck therefore lies with him.

He’s been here a while now and there’s no real sign that the defence has been properly coached. Mings hasn’t really improved beyond what you’d expect as he’s got more games under his belt. So yeah I think this is a valid question.

The minute Tyrone came back from his first England camp, it started to go backwards. He'd been absolutely imperious for us all the way up until that point. Then sloppiness, complacency and a mistake a game.

I don't think you can pin that on JT.

Terry seems to be great at Instagram and not a lot else.

Not as good at Insta as you though Jon 😉

[themossman]

I guess my point was none of our centre halves have really improved under the tutelage of Terry. I think we’ve bought well in that area and in Mings we just bought a quality asset who’d been unlucky with injuries beforehand.

Well obvs.
