So we have no striker coach....

[Mr Happy]

….maybe we can also get a right winger coach who can turn our right wingers into right wingers.

Farage on free signing from Clacton?

 

[Mr Happy]

Was Big Dunc are striker Coach previously ? Remember DCL was a lot better in them days, this will raise a laugh because you know where Duncan came from...

Think he just instilled belief in him. Can't imagine it was much more technical than that

 

[Marc bolan]

Our Wayne is out of a job

 

[davek]

He did better when he had Ferguson coaching him. And it’s not just about learning new things. For example top level golfers still have coaches and lessons to find any edge as well as maintaining their level.

An actual striker coach would analyse missed chances and look at what he did wrong and work on that but also support the mental side of the game a lot closer than Dyche would as manager when Dyche has 25 players to manage.

Ferguson was still at the club until July 2022 and was there with DCL in two seasons where he delivered the sum total of 7 goals.

Next.

Well I didn't have one at Hearts and we won loads.

So this has wound me up big time and more so in the 'details', because we know Sean likes them, of what he said.


"it's a very difficult skill to just teach someone how to smell a goal, how to smell the right place to be, how to find a pathway through football, most see it quicker than the opposition, most see it quicker than defenders, it's like an intuition. So to teach intuition, is very very difficult. So maybe sharpening finishing practices, well any pro licensed coach, which we all are, should be able to do a finishing practice. Even top strikers when I've spoken to them, and I know a few, for them to pass that knowledge onto someone is very difficult."


Here is the thing my balding theropod friend you already have a striker who can "smell a goal", "smell the right place to be", as we've already seen it with our own eyes and been told it by one of the greatest club managers in the history of the game.

He identified the qualities in the players, he coached the players and he implemented a tactical system to get the best out of the players available.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin: Can Everton striker emulate Filippo Inzaghi for Carlo Ancelotti?

Carlo Ancelotti got the best out of Filippo Inzaghi - is he doing the same with Dominic Calvert-Lewin?

www.bbc.co.uk

"I had a fantastic striker in Inzaghi, who scored 300 goals and 210 with one touch," said the Italian.

"A striker has to be focused in the box and I think Calvert-Lewin understands really well because in the box he has speed, he jumps really high, he has power.

"Where he has improved more is there, in the box."

"Carlo Ancelotti is on me every day for first-touch finishes and to be in the box, in the right areas," Calvert-Lewin said.

"It's nice to know what I'm working on in training is coming off on the pitch."

"He is still young but has developed really well," added Ancelotti.

Carlo Ancelotti outlines how DCL is better than Filippo Inzaghi

Carlo Ancelotti has been discussing what Dominic Calvert-Lewin and James Rodriguez bring to his Everton side

www.liverpoolecho.co.uk

“I don’t want to say ‘has improved’, he is improving because I think he didn’t reach his best level in my opinion.

“I don’t see Inzaghi in him because he has a different structure and different characteristics.

“Calvert-Lewin is faster. Calvert-Lewin is better with the head. Calvert-Lewin is stronger than him.

“I think this is natural instinct. He can be dangerous like Inzaghi in the box, for sure.

“He is faster than any defender, he jumps higher than any defender.

“It is a question of movement and details. He has to be focused and he is. He is focused in the box.”

Calvert-Lewin admits to studying Inzaghi highlights on YouTube after Ancelotti comparisons | Goal.com UK

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has revealed that he has been studying Filippo Inzaghi's game after he was recently compared to the former AC Milan striker by his Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti.

www.goal.com

"Funnily enough, he mentioned it to me before he came out and said it in the press," Calvert-Lewin said at St George's Park. "I had a little YouTube of his goals and I watched a 15-minute reel of him. A lot of his goals are one-touch finishes and he has got great movement.

"You can always learn off him, I am still learning now. I am learning my craft. [Carlo] has had a positive influence on me. At the age I am getting to now, I am evolving and learning my craft.

"I am fine-tuning certain aspects of my game. Beforehand, I was guilty of doing a lot of my best work away from the goal. But now I am getting in between the sticks and putting the ball in the back of the net.

"That analogy from Carlo was more of an emphasis on being in the right place at the right time, not to say I am a carbon copy of Pippo Inzaghi but there are elements of his game that I have been showing in my game and they are one-touch finishes and being in the right areas to put the ball in the back of the net."

"I haven't spoken to him about Didier Drogba, no, but to have a manager that has worked with top, top players and strikers in my position is nice to know that he has coached these players before. It is important I take it on board," he said.

"For me, he has enabled me to fine-tune my game, focus on different things and be the focal point. He has told me I have the ability to do it and be the main man."

Training Ground Guru | TGG Podcast #19: Davide Ancelotti - Everton’s new era

EVERTON assistant Davide Ancelotti was the guest on episode #19 of the TGG Podcast. The 31-year-old talked about growing up with a famous father, gave insights into his role, explained why Dominic Calvert-Lewin was

archive.trainingground.guru

In the 4-4-2, in the 4-3-3, his duties are the same - he has to play on the last line, be ready to attack the depth and he is really, really good to do that. For what we want, he is the best striker we could have.

He is a real finisher, he is patient, he doesn’t need to drop a lot to touch the ball. All he wants to do is score and he is focused to be in the box when needed.

If you have spaces to attack, he is quick and can attack the depth; if they are defending with the low block, you have spaces on the wings and can cross because he is a good header.

...
He has a really, really professional mentality and just worked, repetition, in training. It is what he needed - confidence and training repetition. I think Duncan is really important for him, because he works with him and gives him a lot of advice.

I think this is really important to develop the quality of a single player if you are like Duncan, a legend of the club, a really good striker in the box, a good header. For Dominic it is really important advice Duncan can give him.

It is different for me, because I didn’t have experience as a player. I played football, but not at this level. So I cannot tell Dominic what he has to do in this situation.

I can explain the strategy of the game, but I think to develop the individual drills of the player it is really important to have someone who has the experience and can give the good advice.

Davide on the 'system'.

We changed the system this year, but the system is not so important, it is just a number. What is important for us is principles, to recognise the spaces, recognise what we are doing, in which situation we are; if we in a lower build-up with the ball, a higher build-up.

Recognising depends always on the opponent. You cannot decide, ‘I will play 80 minutes in the opponent’s half,’ because you never know if they are going to stay back, if they are going to press. And if they press, recognising what we have to do.

You have to recognise the situation and what to do. Without the ball, it is the same. We have to know how to press high, how to play the transitions, what to do when we are back. You can change the system depending on the players you have.

We work a lot during the week assessing what we think the opponent is going to do in the game. On the pitch you have two teams and you need to try to understand what they are doing to do, because what they are going to do affects what you are going to do.

Ancelotti didn't bitch and moan about what went on before, or how he was still trying to fix 'problems' after being in the job for over two years. Despite having your pro-license the simple fact is you're just not a very good manager or coach, just very very mediocre. About time you stopped whinging and cleared off.

Who you talking to mate ?

 

[davek]

Where those the 2 seasons he made a whopping total of 17 appearances due to injury?

Yes, 17 appearances each of those two seasons. So 7 goals in 34 games.

 

[Delargeinho]

Woan and Dyche been working together the whole managing career, so surely those 2 cannot be the ones to make your teams score. Under 1 goal per game in prem show that.

I am bit disappointed in Steve Stone, whom self was a solid prem winger back in the day and only in and got into Dyche's staff as early as 2021. If one in his staff, he could probably contribute to that. No idea how they operate in the daily work.

But this is the point, Dyche made us playing like a top half defense, but we're looking like a bottom 3 team in attack and football games are won with goals.

And he's not the one guy like Simeone that reinvents himself when the team is struggling and goes new ways.

 

[Tipp blue]

Jonny Heitinga is the RSs striking coach btw

He's doing something right.

 

[Tipp blue]

Honestly I think he's got a point as far as the senior players are concerned, no coach is going to suddenly 'fix' DCL and get him scoring again. IMO he's probably learned all he will ever learn, he's just not an elite striker in terms of conversion % and also he's suffering from playing in a defensive setup.

Then again, my entire football management experience amounts to a few good seasons on SWOS on my amiga back in the mid-90's, so wtf do I know*.

*I did win the European cup with Hearts, but then later got sacked from the England job.

Of course they need coaches, didn't Bob or Silva (cant remember which) not practice set pieces because there wasn't enough set pieces in a game to make it worth while.. why do some of our managers feel that coaching basics is below them.

[Milkman]

When asked why he thought it was necessary to not utilise a striker coach, the Everton manager said:
“My nephew, he’s six. He’s got a goal at the bottom of his garden and he manages to hit the target just fine. He’s never needed a striker coach, so I’m not sure why you’d think any of my players would?”

There you have it folks. Straight from the horses mouth.
Quite unbelievable, really.

Please tell me this isn't a real quote
