Jan Wouters on Roy Makaay's coaching

[Riquelme]

“With Feyenoord, Roy did the strikers. You know how good he was as a player so he can tell attacking players how to react on the pitch.

“He did some amazing exercises on the training pitch with the strikers at Feyenoord.

“It will be great for Rangers’ strikers to have someone like Roy at the club. He was one of Europe’s best as a player so he will definitely make them better.

“Especially with the small details. He’s excellent at coaching how to move in and around the box.”

 

[The Predator]

I assume this spells the end for JD?

 

[Mabearette]

Hopefully he can sort Alfie out and bring Fashion to the next level.

 

[Davieblue1977]

I assume this spells the end for JD?

Seems like it

 

[Fergie90]

"Especially with the small details. He’s excellent at coaching how to move in and around the box.”

Big Roy won't believe his eyes when none of the strikers enter the box in training.

I think the end was evident when he was in Sky studios on our match days.

Gio and Maakay need to resolve the Morelos issue one way or another. A major diet and lifestyle change or ship him.

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

The way I'm feeling right now is I wouldn't waste his breath on Morelos.

I'd much rather a young and hungry striker sign in January. It won't happen but someone like Nisbet

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

I assume this spells the end for JD?

he can be thanked for his services and moved on unless he is doing his badges here.

that goal against Livingston will also be a world class memory.

At least Gio can speak to him in Spanish

Morelos at his best is in a different stratosphere to Nisbet. I know hes frustrated this season, but if MaKaay can get him firing again, or, dare i even say improve him? Thats the best scenario, his value rises and we can cash in during the summer, after lifting 56

 

[LucyBlue]

I assume this spells the end for JD?

Well, likeable fella or not...if this is the result of his coaching then well rid.

Our shooting is mince.

 

[Stevie]

Id rather JD concentrates on playing. Still a very very good finisher and still has something to contribute

I'd love that more than anything. I just don't see it happening. Morelos has to want it and I just don't see him wanting it as much as he would have to to come back from his current form

Alfredo is 100% worth working with and trying to fix his problems

If not for his ability then just for the financial side of things

 

[OzzyGersman]

I don’t think it necessarily spells the end for JD. As has been mentioned on the forum he has recently become engaged to a Scottish woman who has a young daughter in school. I think his intention will be too stay and so long as GVB can find a role for him, he’ll probably stay on as a coach.

He also has a contract as a registered player in the squad so who knows… maybe Roy Makaay will look at him in training and think he’s the best finisher in the squad still.

Partly why I caveated with "the way I'm feeling right now".

I'm thinking too short term as I don't see a firing Alfie until at least February giving the amount of dedication and work needed.

 

[insanicdrunk]

RM was a different level to JD. However, the difference now is the ability to translate his skills to the players. Looks like RM can do that, time will tell with JD and not fair to judge him the same as he is starting on his coaching.

Yeah you’re probably right just think a change of coaching should be a right kick up the arse for him. His standards have dropped to rock bottom and he needs to improve.

He’s a very huffy guy but he’s always made it clear he wants to go to the top of football, he won’t enjoy a spell on the sidelines and I just hope the management can reignite his spark.

Spot on

I read a piece on Gerrard’s set up at Villa - it was talking about all the coaches having specific groups to work with and that it was Beale who was working with the forwards with us - made no sense at all!

He’s a very buggy guy but he’s always made it clear he wants to go to the top of football, he won’t enjoy a spell on the sidelines and I just hope the management can reignite his spark.

Good news is Gio has seen first hand what Morelos can do on the European stage away in Rotterdam. Two cracking headers on the big stage.

He and the coaching team will do everything they can. But then it's up to the player

100%

The only man who can get Alfredo back to his best is the man himself

Has Defoe evenfinished his coaching badges

 

[Boabinho]

The way I'm feeling right now is I wouldn't waste his breath on Morelos.

He’s almost as much of a pr*** as Porteous! Plus I don’t think he’s good enough for us.

 

[Arkanoid]

Can be the size of a puggy machine as long as he sticks the ball in the back of the net again

 

[Boldvale]

TV commentator these days.

 

[Coza]

At least Gio can speak to him in Spanish

Presume Makaay will speak Spanish too. He was at La Coruna right?

 

[Mason Boyne]

I know nostalgia is not enough , but JD showed the club loyalty in the past 2 weeks, so I hope he has a role to play. Maybe in the youth set up ?

If morelos wants his move he is going to need to screw the head imo

I have the belief gio and makaay will stop him dropping into midfield which gerrard obviously coached into him

 

[Wonkychops]

Exciting appointment

 

[SilvioBerlusconi]

Good point.

Sitting on sky sports when were playing

 

[remembertheepoch]

JD could be more use than Alfie at the minute.

 

[GreenockRanger]

JD was a good striker, amazing on his day, but he has won one trophy, last year with us. How he is going to get anyone up for winning one off cup games is beyond me. Time to move on, we need real structure and leadership, not pals in the changing room. Hopefully RM can get the message over to the strikers or let them go, new blood needed upfront

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

He’s almost as much of a pr*** as Porteous! Plus I don’t think he’s good enough for us.

Wouldn't mind some pricks to play for us.

See if you line Tav, Aribo, Kamara, Kent, Davis, Balogan from Sunday they'd all be described as nice.

You'd only say McGregor, Goldson, Arfield and Morelos have any kind of attitude.

Borna gives it the warrior look and come get me at corners but in reality he's a softie

 

[LucyBlue]

Loyalty?

He has a player contract. He can't choose to just leave.

 

[CooperBlu11]

Morelos' issues can't be helped by a coach but instead by a qualified therapist.

 

[Coza]

Good point.

Just checked. 4 seasons at La Coruna and 2 seasons at Tenerife. He will at the very least have the basics like;

‘This way fatty’
‘Today we do coffin runs fatty’
‘One touch sharp and a quick pass and peel into the box…fatty’
‘Training is cancelled fatty. Put on this tin foil suit and off to the sauna’

 

[Hallers]

I thought JD had only started his badges this season. Defoe will also learn more about coaching from some like Makaay. I'd keep him around tbh

 

[RFC_Champions]

I assume this spells the end for JD?

Look at the how our strikers have performed since Defoe became a coach in the summer.

Defoe leaving on a free transfer to sign for sky sports won’t be such a bad thing.

 

[stevie1969]

Vuelve a Columbia

 

[WalterLoyal]

He's not much younger than Morelos, less than a year between them. He's also been criticised for his poor form this season and the goals have dried up. An out of form Nisbet who would likely cost at least £4m is the last thing we need and i'd be amazed if it happened in January.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

I feel Fashion will benefit most from this.

 

[DerekSSR]

Nisbet would be less interested in playing for us than Morelos, the boy is a bitter Tim.

 

[Greig]

What shooting ? That is unheard of.

Fair points well made

We’ve been missing attitude for a long time. The only guy that had it was Morelos and he’s lost it!

 

[Macca]

He’s almost as much of a pr*** as Porteous! Plus I don’t think he’s good enough for us.

Him and the fella who scored the hat trick looked like world beaters and were exactly what we were missing. They had energy and desire in spades

 

[Davie Weir]

Plus I don’t think he’s good enough for us.

He definitely would be imo

But I’m sure he’s of the Celtic persuasion

 

[rossgers]

Id rather JD concentrates on playing. Still a very very good finisher and still has something to contribute

He has played 8 minutes this season.
