I wonder if he's had time to familiarise himself with the league table yet.
"Certainly our programme is a full one, but as a player and as a manager I've always felt that there is only one way to go into a season...and that's to try to win every game.... While we are in four major competitions we shall try to win four major competitions." - Joe Mercer

No, he said he was better. Bridge was Garrido without the goals or crossing.

This could take the thread in a whole new direction:

the shortcomings of generations of left backs.


Garrido was Michael Ball without the violence
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

Hi previous club Koln were just relegated (again)

Said CEO Claus Horstmann, a tad generously. "We were never able to install a proper, competent duo of manager and sporting director."

Instead, they had Stale Solbakken, the Norwegian manager who tried to get by with an experimental, radical zonal marking system (no doubling up, no defensive movement between the lines) all over the pitch but treated fitness as a mere afterthought. As a result Köln often defended decently enough and got by if and when the talismanic Podolski pounced but would usually fall apart with the first conceded goal. They conceded a whopping 75 goals in 34 games, enough to last other sides three whole seasons.

Solbakken was barely on speaking terms with sporting director, Volker Finke, by the winter break when Finke bought in the North Korean striker Chong Tese. The sporting director was fired in a last-ditch attempt to strengthen Solbakken's position but the club, as is so often the case, backed the wrong horse: the former Copenhagen coach limped on until Schaefer came in with four games to go. The 49-year-old inherited "the ruins of team: tactically broke, physically uncompetitive, completely at loggerheads with each other" according to Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger.

Kolarov was Garrido with attitude.

Bridge was Winston Bogarde without the desire to play football.
