Adams on ESPN

Post by Nos89 »

He was brilliant in his defensive analysis on how BFG and Kos operate and that its due to their training in different principles. Also, his response to being told wenger wasn't available for post match interview "Why? where is he?", was quite brilliant. Maybe reason why Adams isn't involve in the coaching set up, he would challenge wenger all the way, and not take any shit. :barscarf: :barscarf:

Any chance you can elaborate on what Adams said about Koscielny and Mertesacker? - sounds interesting.

Personally kicking out Wenger from Arsenal is going to lead to more problems, the fans need to stick together and support the club.

He spoke about BFG being trained in a zonal system where each defender knows where the other defenders are all the time however kos was trained in a man to an system where he tracks his man all the time and this leads to him not keeping the defensive line as he runs back in with an attacker. He want blaming either defender as such ( I think) but was highlighting the differences and the effects it can have but saying that he also started off by saying that he was standing up for mert after unfair criticism 8)

Well given his experience when last slightly critic of the club and manager, he probably realised that he'd get even more stick from all the AKB's if he said anything differently. :oops: :banghead: After all, he himself said today that he couldn't see us finishing in the top 4. :?

He also pointed the chasm between defence and midfield and how he always made sure PV4 or Petit never strayed too far up field.
When asked about the chant "we want our Arsenal back" he asked "which Arsenal do they want? The one from the '70's or '80's, or the team wenger built?". Which frankly is a good point. There is respect from adams but the approach needs changing. Don't forget he was redknapps 1st team coach at portsmouth when they won the fa cup (redknapps only major trophy), and his knowledge of football is extensive. I've never heard a pundit talk about the education of a footballer like adams does. As a coach he would be immense.

I have heard various opinions of whether this is a fake account or not? Has anyone heard the latest?
