Pros And Cons On New Head Coach Patrick Vieira

[NYCFC_MLS_FAN]

[Title edited by mod]

Okay let's take this seriously. Pro so far is we can have any mcfc prospect we want now. Con he has no experience at first team coaching

 

[Ulrich]

Pro - We actually have a manager appointed and can move forward with shaping the roster.

[JayH]

Not sure we really need another/separate thread for this. Mods?

 

[CP_Scouse]

Pro- he shapes up players.
Con- not sure if he wins games

[The Toe]

Pro - Any other team that names a head coach will never reach the same magnitude of NYCFC. We're what the league needs, and it's good to see us trailblazing.

 

[MagnusPax]

Not sure if it's a pro or a con, what's Vierra's track record with academy kids actually amounting to something? Was Lopes or Iheanacho his graduates?

May I ask what this thread is attempting to achieve? The title is very vague.

I want people's opinions of our new coach maybe to show some optimism!

[SayWhat44]

Con- We have cockroaches that will inevitably avoid the hatchet blade

 

[CP_Scouse]

Pro- he's played in different countrie. countries that our enemies play for currently

So you just want Pros not Cons then. I can rename the thread if you like.

Pros
- Expert in one of our weakest spots, CDM, so hopefully he will bring a good one in or transfer some of his knowledge to whatever current player will fill that role next year.
- His resume will command respect from our DPs
- Inside knowledge of the EDS system that will help him pick the right players to take on loan
- CFG insider so they will trust him and hopefully be more willing to send the best EDS players
- Player development experience

Cons
- No first team coaching experience

Yes I like this a lot I just wanted to get a feel and see if people thought more negatively of the hire or positively

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

Pros:
Effort not likely the primary determinant of playing time.
May appreciate the things those born after 1990 can bring to the game.
Stands 6'4", so chance of napoleon complex low.

Cons:
Unfamiliar with MLS, so may not know when to sub off a veteran in a close game to allow opposing fans to clap.
Does not appreciate american playing style of kick the ball that way, hard, and see if it goes in.
French, so may try to surrender to opposing coaches.
Locker room fights with Pirlo about the relative superiority of Barolo vs Chateauneuf du pape

Luckily with Yankee Stadium's narrow field, he can set up a true Maginot Line at the top of the box and the other teams won't be able to attack the flanks & envelop around the sides.

I knew that narrow field must have had a secret advantage!

Cons:

I was hoping for a coach whose name didn't force me to think about the letter order of I and E.
