Or maybe she just understands the game at a depth that is beyond you?

Oh what like.” Pickford is part of this clever double press” It’s like she studies one move, and then comes up with an over complicated reason for it.
No doubt if a team goes long all game, there she pops with some sort of mathematical equation to it all. Just the TV companies somehow justifying it all. Football is a simple game, don’t over complicate it.

Personally I thought the bit she did in the England game breaking down the three pronged passing options for one of the England goals was far more interesting than anything that Keane, Neville or Wright offered.
I suspect a lot of people are offended by her because of her gender, accent and appearance rather than because of what she says.

I think she nčeds to tailor her analysis to the audience watching, modern day coach speak to make you sound more intelligent is a bit over the top for the majority of a tv audience. I have been in around football for over 60 years and I couldn't really work out what she was getting at. Keep it simple. ITV have hung her out to dry, with that set and a blackboard, have they not seen Sky with touch screens ect? But, she signed the contract.

She is a highly successful manager so clearly she has a better understanding of tactics than anyone on this board. The problem is though is that she presents as though she is conducting a UEFA B coaching course.
I'd like to think I have an okish understanding of tactics but she totally loses me with her terminology.
I do quite like her but she probably needs to dumb down her style a bit.

She might very well know her stuff, but those segments with her and the whiteboard were just bad.

Bollocks, she just keeps using the modern football phrases to sound clever like, pockets of space, transition, low blocks, counter press, false 9 etc etc

Could not agree more, but even the chaps do it.
Let’s face it 1st phase/ 2nd phase, complete techno speak crap to keep them all in a job. Transition is one that boils my piss. Assist , fuck me surely that’s a word for a pass or a cross, Heard one “ pundit”…. say “ rotational transition ”…WTF?

It’s a hydration break for me as well. I have no interest in any pundits thoughts. I know what I’ve seen , that’s it.

She IS a more successful manager than you, me or any other Outlaw, tbf.

That doesn't guarantee her being a good tv analyst.

I’d take Hayes over most co-comms. Dixon and Murphy in particular are shockingly poor. Funnily enough, our old pro Andros Townsend is the best, but that’s very World’s Tallest Dwarf. At least Hayes talks about the game, rather than banter bollocks.

💯 this, wholeheartedly agree
She provided an alternative view and it was good to see a change from the usual suspects.
I would personally love to see Hayes manage in the EFL in the future. It would be fascinating and I really think she would do an excellent job.
The abuse she is getting today online from the usual agitators is disturbing and says a lot about ‘are’ country.

Reminds me of the Andy Townsend tactics truck nonsense. The whole punditry gig now is just a waste of time. They never represent the fans view or dare to criticise too much. There is also a distinct lack of humour or characters. Get some comedians in would be my suggestion instead of the boring drivel served up from the ex pros.
