The new manager hunt (was the Moyes thread) only 3 days to wait...

Vorse,
Was that a spelling mistake or was it deliberately singular ;biggrin

I think that the first team fitness coach is very young. Isn't he the assistant manager of the Women's team?

Miljenko Rak (born 1947) is a Croatian former long-jumper and fitness trainer. He has worked as the trainer for the Croatia national handball team and with Olympic gold medal winning skier, Janica Kostelić, and football manager, Slaven Bilic.

Ahhhhhhh.... No I see what the problem was! Rak got our hands fit but not our legs!

Bazshuayi

Please note. now Moyes is manager, that I left out any sexist girl talk out of my original posting as '#nice Rak' didnt seem appropriate ;run

MrsGrey

Herb ;ok

I was thinking of this

The winger has praised manager De Carnys, assistant – and first-team fitness coach – Josh Ewens

At least we have a management team who all speak English albeit after a fashion.

grey_til_I_dye

Can't see that makes any real difference, given the international make up of our (and most) PL squads.

What did you think Slav was speaking?

Towards the end.... Hyroglifics. ;wink

Braille looking at our defence this season

I see Man U are willing to let Fellini go on a free ..............

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo! ;weep

I was talking to someone yesterday about if the players find it easier to understand English with a Croat or Scottish accent...

grey_til_I_dye

AdMe

I'd be really surprised if that were the case.

Moaninho frequently talks about how important Fellaini is to his squad/team.

grey_til_I_dye

OK

I've seen the story now:

He is out of contract in the summer, and talks have stalled, but the report claims they do not intend to cash in on him in the Jan window, even if they lose him for nothing in the summer.

thornburyiron

My comment about all speaking English was made tongue in cheek. I know Slav is multilingual but looking at our bench during matches it looked as if the rest of them were mute or didn't understand what was happening. Something was stopping any communication getting through.

Concentration and ability for some of them at the moment, along with positional ability

IronHerb

Mrs G ;ok

He appears to have gone missing on the updated staff list: -

Mind, no mention of the fully integrated West Ham Ladies. ;hmm

NEoldiron

Cuz, what does Braille sound like? ;biggrin

thornburyiron

Possibly a bit scratchy.

MrsGrey

Herb, the website's a mess (imho).

If you go to the 'Teams' tag, the Ladies team is there http://www.whufc.com/teams/ladies/squad

IronHerb

Saw that Mrs G but no mention under Who's - Who whereas the mens team are as well as under http://www.whufc.com/teams/staff

Confusion if you don’t understand it one bit it’s a language our defenders didn’t understand lol

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Talking of Carroll, he’s just called his new born “Wolf Nine Carroll”

Interesting article on the sky sports website about Carroll and Moyes.

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/11127353/david-moyes8217-west-ham-hopes-could-hinge-on-andy-carroll8217s-fitness

It seems we play better with Carroll in the side and Sunderland played better with Anichebe in the side.

The analysis re AC is only for this season, though. So the conclusion drawn by the Sky writer could be false.

Vorselaarhammer

Reading the article a tactic is terrible when you don't win the game....

I am sure Rio remembers Beckham and Giggs putting in one or two crosses...

Always reminds me of bbc bias when we went long was hoof ball, when gerrard went long it was a 70 yard inch perfect pass

grey_til_I_dye

Recently, whilst teams like us simply play the long ball, fashionable teams have been 'playing it early back to front'.

When they do it, it is a clever tactic to counter the high press. When we do it, it is anti-football.

But it was different. Gerrard usually was trying to pick someone out, with some pace on the ball. We just floated it up to the front where maybe our striker would win a knock down but mostly to no one else, if they weren't beaten to it or giving away a free-kick.

Grey, a lot of the time we have been 'playing it early front to back'.
