Usual good stuff from Tomkins February 16, 2008
Mr. Stuart J. Merritt
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
As usual, Tomkins is very thorough in the way he prepares this book. He does his homework, researches his subject and then presents his findings alongside very robust facts and figures. This says a lot for him as he writes his books whilst managing the very debilitating illness, M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis).
His analytical approach may sound a bit hard and technical, but in fact, the opposite is true. The book is really calming to read. It puts football in perspective with a lot of emphasis on trying to understand things from the manager's perspective.
He looks at issues that effect all football teams - zonal marking as opposed to man marking, rotation policies, judging when the team is merely having a blip and understanding when it is on a downward spiral and changes need to be made.
His approach is very rare at a time when media bandwagons are constantly on the go and uninformed pundits seem to dominate the airwaves.
In the same way that you do not have to support Arsenal to enjoy Nick Hornby's, Fever Pitch, you do not need to be a Liverpool fan, or to have read other books by Tomkins, to appreciate this book. It covers issues that all football fans can relate to and emphasise with.
