Re: Rowett's football
Hagley BlueNouCamptrying to find any of those entertaining/enjoyable is a tough ask tbf
from least to most
Karanka / Cotterill / bad Pep
Bowyer
Rowett/Eustace/Monk
Rooney / Zola
Mowbray
very much view Rowett, Monk, Eustace and maybe even Bowyer and Cotterill as much of a muchness
I think the OP has greatly exaggerated the style of football played under Monk. As you say, most of them have been much of a muchness. Functional, all towards the top end of the stats in long pass percentage and low end when it comes to possession.
Pep was a strange one. First half of the season Pep was not far off some of the best football we’ve played recently. But come winter it deteriorated to some of our worst.
I have no idea, how you can put the Gung ho Kamikazi style, played under Rooney and Zola anywhere near that high.
Mindless football, with players that did not understand, and were not capable of playing it
Both of their teams played like the pre match pep talk consisted of one word. CHHHAAARRRRGGGGE!
