'The System'

Status
Not open for further replies.
The system is more than a buzzword. It has turned out to be an excuse for not performing, and it is very dangerous. Everything we do can be related to the system, and all we know is that it takes time (noone have any idea of the timeframe however). I hate it. It is like listening to Rafa talking about City's money.
 
Its the ordered and comprehensive assemblage of facts, principles, doctrines, or the like in a particular field of knowledge or thought.

But thats not important right now
 
It sounds like an ITV game show. Probably hosted by Pip Schofield, Coleen Nolan or national treasure Martin Clunes.
 
Is it anything other than the latest buzzword?

I need some answers

No not really - it's just that the new 'system' is about continuous and meaningless passing as well as meanfull passing. I think what we have mastered so far of the system is:-

1) We do the continous and meaningless passing quite well now, with a few mistakes here and there which unfortunately have so far led to major fuck ups.
2) We are not good enough at the meaningfull passing that can lead to goals.
3) Time is not an element when it comes to the system - it is Space without the time component.

That is the SYSTEM !!!!
 
The system is the excuse for lack of money to buy players who can fit and fix the system which is suppose to be the panacea for lack of the ability to win games.
 
(Rodgers) Philosophy bugs me more than system. Every commentator seems to talk about it endlessly.
 
I've mentioned this before. Annoys me a) how much Rodgers talks. Yes, yes, I understand that he is asked endless questions on a daily basis, that, however, does not mean he has to give endless answers. b) the use of buzzwords and bullshit, such as 'going forward'. If you mean from now on say from now on. c) why do we keep telling all our opposition exactly how we are trying to play. It's not like we're even any good at it yet. Couldn't we keep our traps shut and do the talking on the field by actually, you know, winning some games.
I like Rodgers for his self-belief, his understanding of the job he's taken on and his passion, but for fuck's sake please stop the corporate middle-management bollocks.
 
Buzzword or not, it's hardly a new concept that certain managers play certain styles or tactics that certain players don't work well in.
 
I think Brendan's still a bit insecure. There's a little bit of a chip on his shoulder. And after developing a team that could out pass some major Premier League sides, he's suddenly back watching the Arse do it to his new side. That must niggle, given the sense that so little patience is around while he works to re-build this team as he wishes. So as Sean says, he's talking too much, and trying too hard to inspire a following. I wonder what people thought of Shanks when he was starting - it's tempting to speculate that he, too, preceded his achievements with rather too many bold statements. The TV series is really something we could all do without, IMHO, and Brendan's obligatory participation will only encourage the Brent-like allusions, but I think he just needs some indulgence. It's a tough job,and if he's erring on the side of waffle, it's certainly a higher order of waffle than we had with Hodge.
 
Maybe we should lock him and Rafa in a padded cell with only a whiteboard, crayons and the knowledge that there's a live feed on RAWK and see who breaks first.

Not really, I mean Rafa talked about City's money after spunking money left right and centre, we're talking about a system that's struggling to get going after four games.

BIT of a difference.
