The whole situation over there is fascinating, I'll be honest, and I'll take heat for this, but I think under certain circumstances Postecoglou's style of play could work well in Scotland and if it was pre-Gerrard I think it's an appointment that would make sense for them.
If they were far ahead of everyone else in Scotland, then a manager who will go for an all-out attack would probably be good enough to deal with the defensive calamities that will happen with that style. And the inverted fullback makes sense as it'll likely leave their attacking wide players one on one with the opposition fullbacks and given them numerical supremacy in the middle but they've not even gave him a decent chance of being successful looking from the outside.
They're going into CL qualifiers with the worst defense I can remember them having, and it's one thing saying it's a free hit for Postecoglou as it's not his team yet but defeats are remembered and discontent grows regardless of how little time you've been in the door.
I totally get why he wants a ball playing keeper, and I made the argument that we should be playing McLaughlin rather than McGregor but Barkas is so bad that the last thing you want is him being exposed - his position for 2nd West Ham goal was as bad as I've ever seen.
The Israeli looks dangerous and Batu will improve them but they have so many players that need replaced it's not going to click overnight. If given time and players then they'll end up challenging us as the rest of teams in Scotland aren't good enough but I don't see how he gets through the season.
That said, as comical as it is just now I think we should be expecting them to give us a challenge.
