Are you real or what!?elpelsarmy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 1:53 pmI'm merely pointing out that just because on match days all you do is see him lay out cones and chew gum do you really believe that is all he does? so at training he does nothing? never speaks or trains the players? never contributes with the rest of the coaching team?OneBardGooner wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 1:29 pmOooooooooooooooh!

Just for putting out a few cones and sitting next to Lord Sith - If he speaks up against his lord and master he is gone - If he stays schtumm he'll get a wage rise next June.
you have no idea what Bould does on a daily basis, what his thoughts are or what he says...........
It is public knowledge what his salary is....as for the rest have you ever seen him do/ say anything other than chew gum and nod, with the occasional mumble of a few things to wenger AND put out the cones for pre-match warm-ups.
Why? Who are you his 'wife' ?
You would rather make stuff up and moan about the way he chews gum and the look on his face than actually acknowledge he has a job, he is a number 2, please tell me another number 2 anywhere that supposedly does more than Bould, maybe he should jump around on the touchline like Conte to keep you happy?
Bold does "Exactly" and "Only" what Wenger Tells him to do -and nothing beyond or outside of that.
He is not allowed any free reign whatsoever - He (sadly) sadly not allowed to use his vast knowledge and experience in any way near the capacity he could and should. It is well known by everyone (except yourself apparently) that Arsenal do not 'Practise Defending' (That's defending in the way that all the other managers/coaches do) ie: Practising endless defensive strategies and manoeuvres on the pitch...Wenger's idea of defending is Zonal Marking - That (Lack of thorough defending strategies till they can do it in their sleep, combines with the shilly-shallying Zonal marking that see's 4 of our players all ball watching and running towards the ball like moths to a lightbulb, instead of marking their given zone and the opposition player in that area of the penalty area....that is one of the main reasons why we concede so many goals from free-kicks.
When wenger arrived the defence was running like clock-work and he didn't have to do a thing nor worry about it because
A) The players had been thoroughly drilled in and so knew Defending strategies and procedures inside out and arse backwards because they had been coached by the best
B) The Defenders knew How & when to Tackle, How to Get close or drop off their man, and they knew exactly where each other was.
None of these things are practised day in day out by wenger...the only time he has allowed proper defensive drills was in the 2006 Season when due to injury we had a make-shift defence and Martin keown drilled them daily for weeks on end - And they conceded so few goals in the latter half of the season and especially in the CL and one of the reasons we got to the Final.
What you need to ask is Why Is Arsenal's Defence So Bad? - It is not because Bouldy is mis-coaching them it is because he isn't allowed to.
So what else does he do for his £30k a week?
