Lush Vlad Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I originally thought that. I mean, at any other club in the league, it would rightly be laughed off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm hearing he has 3 games to save his job and that Lawrie Sanchez has already been sounded out about replacing him.

number9shirt Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ashley and his pr guru link a name so utterly abject that the fans say I'd rather stick with McLaren & make us grateful they didn't appoint some third rate bygone. I'm sure when pards was hired a rumour mentioned they considered someone that was doing a half decent job in the conference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 If Sanchez became manager surely any credibility the club has would be lost and the media would have a field day; its up there with Kinnear, who may well get a gig helping him. Hell, bring back Wise as well. Sanchez was sacked by Fulham just before Christmas in 2007 after we'd won 1-0 at their place with a last minute penalty, having won only two games up to that point. Roy Hodgson kept them up winning 4 or their last 5 games. Part of me would find it painfully funny if it were to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Wish McClaren would stop banging on about getting to work/getting it right on the training ground. It's in the pitch that counts. May as well let this lot piss it up the wall and play Xbox all week for all the good "the training ground" is doing. We are somehow worse than last year and that took some doing. So clearly what's going on the training ground is either all wrong, ignored or simly not good enough. For me these comments confirm he is nothing more than a coach, never was and never will be after this mess. Chamley, Carr, the lot of them need to go. This system the have is absolutely not fit for Sunday league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossibly Daft Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 That said, we are in a false position. Player for player we are better than 6-7 teams in the league but sadly they (apart from Villa) have what we don't - work ethic, team spirit, direction and determination ie. stuff the manager and coaching team is responsible for. While the latter is obviously true, that we don't have any of those things, we're not better than 6-7 teams in the league, on paper or otherwise. Nonsense!! Our first team squad is full of international footballers from non-pisspot footballing nations - 5 dutch internationals, 1 Senegal international, a French international, a Serbian international and probably a couple more i've forgotten. On paper we are comfortably better than Bournemouth, Norwich, Sunderland, Leicester, West Brom and Watford. That's 6 teams and you could argue that we have a better squad than Villa as well. The Newcastle squad has enough quality to be better than Sunderland, Villa, Norwich and Bournemouth. WBA and Watford are more cohesive even if not as talented man-for-man, and while I'm rather biased, there's no way it's a better squad than Leicester; sure, last season's squad had plenty of more-than-the-sum-of-their-parts players like Dean Hammond getting games, but also the likes of Cambiasso, Mahrez, Huth in January etc. Albrighton was good last year (just didn't get so much game time) and even at Villa, he'd got the highest chances-created-per-minute stats in the league one year; not a flashy player, but effective. Most of the additions have been quality like Fuchs and Kante. If measuring by number of internationals, I don't think it's that different, 15 players have international caps (albeit Morgan for Jamaica and a couple of practically one-cap-wonders like Huth and DeLaet) and both Fuchs and Inler are international captains. In a combined squad: Krul and Schmeichel are about on par. I'd want Janmaat and Wijnaldum (the kind of player that's missing; Okazaki was clearly intended to be a Vardy replacement rather than alongside him) in the starting lineup and in the wider squad I'd want Mitrovic or Perez for Kramaric. To me it's a team that on paper is probably about 10th and is over-performing vs. a team that's about 15th on paper and under-performing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I think people overestimate how good out team/squad is. I'd say we arguably have the worst goalkeeper (excluding Krul who won't play again this season), the worst back 4, the worst central midfield and possibly, potentially a mid table strike force.

Guest chopey Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Worst defence I've seen in a long time, I would even consider dropping Janmaat or just make him a right mid because he's nothing more than a liability just now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, having a think about whether to give them another chance We are literally the football personification of a man standing in a burning building having a think whether he should look for the tap and a bucket of water.
