Re: New Appointment

I wonder how much influence Shaw had in today's result?

None, unless he's picking the side and formation.

Are you saying that there's no likelihood of the new assistant coach having been in the ear of Riza and putting forward suggestions that might benefit the way we play?

In four working days, i would say that it's unlikely. Obviously i can't be certain though. Shaw wouldn't even know all of the players names yet.

So couldn't be ruled out.
I don't think he needs to know their names at this stage.

No, it couldn't be ruled out that Shaw gave Riza his opinion.

.... and that Riza might have taken on board those opinions and thereby Shaw would have had an influence.

You went from categorically saying "none", to... "unlikely", to... "it couldn't be ruled out".

whatever Shaw did or didn't say, i doubt very much that it would have been enough for Riza to change playing tyle and formation today, considering he's only been with the club less than a week. If you think that there's some possibility that shaw was instrumental in todays victory then that's up to you. I very much doubt it though, people read a bit too much into things (in my opinion)

Well, I'm open-minded to the thought that Shaw might already have had some influence.
Of course, I don't know for sure, but it couldn't be ruled out - which your initial post seemed to do.

I should have said that i very much doubt it.

Re: New Appointment

I had a stream and it very much looked like Shaw was in Riza's ear very often.

Purse sat down more than usual, as he previously couldn't keep still.

There was a new member of the backroom staff that I didn't recognise and talked a lot to the subs.

Re: New Appointment

It’s pretty clear that Riza knows and trusts Shaw and in a case like that, I think it’s perfectly possible that the new coach had a say in the tactical change involving Chambers as sometimes a fresh set of eyes looking at a problem can point out things others were missing because they were too close to see the bigger picture.

On the other hand, they could have read about Chambers’ false number five role on my blog :xmashehe:

Re: New Appointment

Shaw 100% won that match. He was on the blower to Tan early morning and they discussed a tactical plan to win the match. Round lunch time Shaw bought the whole team a pint and a bag of crisp (O dowda refused due to geo political/religious reason) to win the team over like. Then at half time he gave everyone a good rub down.We won. This happened 100% i was there and saw it with my own eyes. not speculation at all.
