mozy Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Badly worded, obviously we have a handful of talented players but the dross (Gouffran, Colo, Anita, Colback, Obertan, Cisse, etc) has been dross since before SMC got here, he just hasn't been able to improve any of the players. That was part of his remit when he was given the job - to improve players. Ignoring the dross, have any noticeably improved? Nope, not even one. It's been the biggest disappointment of him.

Kanj Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yep - need to be calling him out on his stupid selection and tactics and inability to sign a defense (he's on the board so he should fucking bloody answer that) or why has he got Saivet sitting bench for Colback who has been part of the team that's been blowing chunks all season.

SEMTEX Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Genuinely don't think our squad is that good, tbh. There's a few decent players in there, surrounded by a large amount of shite. Define "that good". Give our squad a league position. Is that number 20, 19 or 18? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Should have been challenged abut the dross he's overseeing months ago. If you're a PL manager and the results and performances have been as poor as ours have been then he's absolutely fair game. It's fucking March and the only team below us are going to go down as one of the worst in PL history. He's failed miserably and deserves any criticism coming his way, he coaches them, he picks the team, he makes the subs and he chooses formations and tactics and it's been fucking dire. Other managers have been sacked for under-performing and he's the worst of the lot, it's been fucking wank. Just bin the cunt ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 SBR didn't always get it right but I never questioned that he wasn't the right man for the job, same with Keegan. Unfortunately football has bypassed British players in terms of management over the last 15 years, look at the England setup, Rooney and so many others of the same intelligence level.. basically a whole generation of thick as pig shit assholes who just wouldn't have the faculties to succeed at management. And any of the British players that could have the potential to be good at this will never get the exposure because their playing careers are overshadowed by better foreign players, or thick cunts like Rooney et all. If we go for a new manager he has to be foreign.. not Moyes. He wouldn't make a blind bit of difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Genuinely don't think our squad is that good, tbh. There's a few decent players in there, surrounded by a large amount of s****. Define "that good". Give our squad a league position. Is that number 20, 19 or 18? Certainly no higher than 15/16. We can just about put out an XI that's alright when everyone's fit, but as soon as someone's injured - which is inevitable with us - we're relying on crap.

Tiresias Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Our squad has the ability but the mental strength of box of staples and serious attitude problems. I don't mean this in the sense a good coach could turn them around and they'd be good, they could maybe get to 14/15th in table with a good coach but no more. Recruitment is a joke.

mozy Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 We went into the season with the first choice partnerships in defence and midfield being Mbemba, Coloccini, Colback and Anita, backed up by Taylor, Williamson, Tiote and Gouffran. Fucking Norwich have better options than those last 7 and the best player out of that lot is a 21 year old kid brand new to the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Not only aren't the players very good they are clearly a bad team. SMC is poor but so is the team. like QPR the team is pretty toxic. SMC still needs to go though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 As regards Colback I've told people on here before that When he's fit he must play that's part of his contract. I heard that from a very very good source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomson Mouse Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Craig Hope loses any respectability when he's writing for the Mail. Soz like. Usually I'd agree but the sports sections aren't run on the political agenda like the rest of the paper. See George Caulkin for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
