TRon Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 For those who think McClaren is complete and total shite, do you seriously think the players / squad are good enough? Swansea are hardly setting the world alight but they made Watford look like donkeys. Therein lies the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I actually like the fact he's willing to try weird shit out like 3 at the back, but this was just completely the wrong way to go about it. Very limited experience playing it and effectively 4 new players in the side. I think you really need to be playing 2-3 forwards in a system like that too.

That you need to set your side up to keep possession against a side like Watford who aren't that good. I am assuming that is what we pay all this money for when we sign internationals.

madras Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 did he really say we were tremendous today? why not, it's an interview. Say one thing to the press another to the players. Do you think mangers tell the truth on camera ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 one of those managers who will drift from place to place , do ok for a spell then it ends and they get sacked......see pardew,Hughes, Rodgers. Hell man, give Phil Brown a better squad and he'll look ok again.. look at klopp floundering at Liverpool's till he can spend more than most in the summer. Truly great managers a few and far between. We maybe had the last who could make a silk purse out if a sows ear and do it over time. He must be miles away from the sack here if he's going to do OK for a spell, he's not even average.

Big Geordie Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 What was his excuses for today? Sad thing is - if he takes us down, he will stay in place to mount a 'promotion push'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Still want him to do well, but continued outings like today makes it increasingly difficult. If we get a proper striker in he has absolutely no excuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Still prefer him to that cunt Pardew. Occasionally we even look like we're trying to play half decent football. Very occasionally mind. Caveat being never wanted him in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Still want him to do well, but continued outings like today makes it increasingly difficult. If we get a proper striker in he has absolutely no excuses. Though I generally agree with this in principle, he's officially on the board and plays along with that. So he can fuck off for us not signing one in the summer in the first place. And a left back. And a central midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 He's like Pardew's older brother who's rather charming and much more likeable. still came from the same bollocks and is just as fucking useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 What was his excuses for today? Sad thing is - if he takes us down, he will stay in place to mount a 'promotion push'. And that should be the last thing he is allowed to do. He will not get us promoted or even in the play offfs imo. The guy is not inspirational enough or have the nouse. When we go down we need a proven manager who knows how to get teams up, and that may well lead to an unpalatable short term appointment, but it would be the sensible thing to do.
