samptime29 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Either sack him before the season or in summer. Seems weird to sack mid-way through season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Impressive Not sure what you're getting at. Just stating that as of now, we're still in every major competition we were in at the start of the season and we're sitting where we were expected to be in the league, maybe even higher. A lot of pundits predicted 6th place. Love how low expectations you've got Being behind Chelsea, with a completely inexperienced manager that sold their star player whilst having a transfer ban is good now, and even above expectations after what you spent in the summer? Great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 how/what system does this guy play then? He follows Cruyff (and Bielsa to a point), so either a 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 - he played a 3-4-3 mostly when at Betis - but if they need to seriously press then its a 3-4-1-2 - with this Barca team being a bit slow, I'd be surprised if the doesn't go with a 3-4-3 - ala us with Rafa - with the 2 either side of the forward tucked in - this should benefit both Messi and Griezmann - shame they don't have Countinho right now, could have benefitted a lot Its possession based football with a cutting edge - not passing for the sake of passing - with better players, he should be able to implement this quite well And he is the biggest fan of Messi on the planet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I like him, I just think he comes at the very worst moment, midway into the season, with a restless dressing room (and he doesn't have the resume to command instant respect), and if the season unravels he won't get a chance.

Great Chelsea started really well and Abraham is having a breakout year. Can't hold that against them. Our star player has been injured all year, and a 20+ a year striker was sold. According to everyone on here we have a shite, inexperienced manager also. We've also played Chelsea 3 times in 3 different competitions and won all 3, scoring 8 and conceding once? We'll catch Chelsea. What about Spurs? Based on the opinion on here, far better coach than us, similar net spend to us in the Summer? Arsenal? I don't have low expectations, I have realistic ones. Expected to be in a fight for 4th which is what is happening. I'm also optimistic mind. We have the youngest squad in the league and we'll be adding real quality to it in the Summer and hopefully in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sacking your manager when he has you top of the league. :lol: Only Barca. And Real Madrid. Capello sacked after winning their first league title in four years, didn’t win it good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Second in the league and they've just knocked Braga out of Europa? Weird. Way behind Celtic in the league and got knocked out of the cup by Hearts. The pressure on him to win the League next season will be huge as it will be Celtic’s 10th title in a row. Ranger just don’t have the players or budget to compete with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
