Cook has no style of football. Most managers have a way they like to play the game prime example been Martinez.
He asked players to play a certain way no matter what and if you came into the side you were coached to play that way or you didn’t get in, front to back 3 up front wide players etc…. Did I agree with it to be played for 90 minutes every game? no but at least he stuck to his guns and played a style he thought was the way football should be olayed.
Cook is the total opposite, he changes the style of football to suit the players who come in match by match which is utter madness. To drop your best forward at your club simply because others are injured just beggars belief.
Yes we have injuries but name me a club who isn’t in the same boat half way through the season but I bet they all don’t drop thier best players because others are injured then totally change tactics and style of play and formation line up.
This boils down to recruitment on Cooks part and simply asking players to play a slightly different waycbecause x-y-z is injured. With no style he changes tactics to suit.
Can you imagine Grigg in a side were they consentrate getting the ball to him in the box or threaded threw to him or even in a Martinez side of the past ?.
Listen, you can’t tell me Gibson can’t push a bit forward then have Naismith and hopefully Pilkington feeding Grigg wouldn’t get him goals.
Saying that, don’t be shocked if Leon Clarke doesn’t come back for another stint, he’s on the market looking for a club. He fits “The Cook Profile” perfect.
33…6ft+ hit it long to me , and has had more clubs than Captain Caveman.
And now were linked with Andy King. I can’t imagine what his wage demands will be. I’d like Cook to explain why MacDonald isn’t been utilised or is it because he didn’t bring him to the club. If it’s fitness I’d point out to him that Kings played zero Prem games Leicester this season.
Cook should be fookin concentrating on a fookin forward to replace Grigg who’s all but finalised a move to Sunderland
