Alex 35077 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Possibly, though I think Sir Bobby liked a challenge. He managed to get the best out of the likes of Laurent Robert and Romario. Ditto Keegan with Ginola - not exactly players signed for their work ethic or brilliant attitudes. Work ethic is one thing, attitude is another. You don't have to get on with everyone but HBA has caused a stink just about everywhere he's been. There's also the fitness issue. It's certainly debatable as to whether they'd have signed him. I certainly think they'd have gotten more out of him than a more rigid manager like Pardew though. KK especially. Look at how he got Viduka, Martins and Owen playing as a genuine front 3. Much more astute tactically than he was ever given credit for, especially later in his managerial career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21915 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah, Owen was almost an attacking midfielder in that set up wasn't he? Definitely shouldn't have worked on paper but credit to the keegler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35077 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah, Owen was almost an attacking midfielder in that set up wasn't he? Definitely shouldn't have worked on paper but credit to the keegler. Yeah, he played as a sort of withdrawn inside right. It was very clever because Keegan spotted that Owen still had good movement and could finish but was better arriving late from deeper positions because of his lack of pace / inability to play on the last defender. It was the last time Owen looked like a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35077 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah. I'm not sure whether Martins could be called a left winger in that set-up either but although he did well he was a mercenary cunt with an appalling attitude at the same time.

scoobos 298 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) RE: Ginola, Keegan told us a couple of months ago that Ginola was the most talented and hard working player he has worked with as a Manager. End Of. (he also added that Ginola couldn't pass on his skills in training because it was just a natural thing he did without thinking about it, so he couldn't explain to his trainees how to perform some of his off the ball / first touch skills).

McFaul 35 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Top scorer in Ligue Unnnnnnnn at the minute. Fair play to him, always liked him and with a decent manager has the world at his feet.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 There was no doubting his talent, just his commitment and attitude were questionable at best. What he needed was good man management and sadly we didn't have the manager to do it. To be honest it seems that he has moved on, as should everyone else.
