I think it's a fairly valid consideration that the man in question is obviously an affable, honourable bloke, like. I know that doesn't win you games but it points the 'loss of the dressing room' finger squarely in the direction of the players.
I wouldn't say he's an expert in game management, like. He absolutely is an expert in preparation, managing a squad and setting the team up tactically but in spite of what was accomplished in Istanbul, changing the game when things aren't going for him isn't his forte.
You can't compare Roeder to that mong, like. Took us from something like 16th to European qualification in 3 months playing some very good football. Carver took us from 9th/10th to a final day relegation scrap.
Yeah, same. It's really difficult to accept people lauding fucking Gouffran for 5-yard passes and tracking back when you've experienced a player of Robert's class and unpredictability. Waking up on a Saturday morning in those days, man...
Mitro is s***. Hate to be the bearer of such bad news at such an important point in the season. But thems the facts as we know it.
Match winner v Wolves, and changed the game on Monday v Villa. I don't think he's done too badly the last few weeks, playing in a side that doesn't suit his style of play. He's certainly not "shit".
Changed the game. His hamstring wasn't torn. That's about the extent of it.
:lol:
It's slightly less funny when you consider he's a better finisher than one of the two alternatives and a much better all round footballer/athlete than the other. I'd don't think Perez is a striker but he's arguably the best we have for what Rafa requires of one.
