Football / Re: Terry Fenwick Thread.
« on: March 31, 2021, 03:26:50 PM »From what I've seen....Fenwick brings a lot of perspiration but little organization or structure.
He wants intensity, deep pressing, hustle, from his teams. These are good things.
He doesn't seem however to be able to have any sort of organisation or structure in any third of the field. He eschews the technical in favour of effort and graft.
In other words....what you would expect of a stereotypical English coach.
I agree somewhat, he's a self proclaimed admirer of Terry Venables.
Plus all Bertille St. Clair's team played like that. The structure to them was secondary to man management, pace, power, pressing and supreme fitness. If you listen to the Burdie and Barney podcast when asked about his preferred formation he Bertille couldn't say. He said something akin to Get it, Give it and something else is his philosophy.
Marcelo Bielsa uses a similar idea everywhere he goes and now at Leeds. He loves a 4-3-3 formation with a high, relentless press.
Look at what Terry did when he came to TnT, he shook up the whole league with that style.
If Terry gets the players with that level of fitness he can impress i think but I believe it's a tough one with the national team at the minute.
Fingers crossed
