Rafa had very little spend in the summer but the squad was 10th with 59 points for the most part last season. They probably won't make half of that at this rate so clearly something went wrong between Ancelotti leaving and now. Injuries fair enough did impact them a lot but season went off the rails post-September

Eh, Rodriguez doesn’t give a fuck about football anymore. Hence he plays in Qatar. He also signed their two best performing players, and brought Gordon through. Digne fair enough, but he is in no way at fault for this. He had zero money to spend.

 

He did a shit job and was deservedly sacked. Should never have been appointed in the first place.

Very late to the Leeds chatter but we absolutely can’t have Americans telling us how to play football, particularly when replacing El Loco. Them or Everton going down would be brilliant.

Lampard will no doubt keep laying into the players after this. Worst thing in relegation scrap tbh. Will come off as aloof and uninterested to the players and needs to be able to help them actually learn how to defend.

 

Rafa short circuited at everton, no idea why he couldnt get them to defend at all. Does sniff of toxic dressing room so Lampard not really wrong to lay into them so often kinda but still cant see it helping

So let's see whether Man Utd will go in for him now. Neville said they wanted to see what he does in the Champions League with PSG. Now that he's failed in that, will they approach him now or wait for Ten Haag at the end of the season?

 

for me, in reality, Man Utd are slowly turning into, if not already, Sports Direct United Lite. Ridiculuos how they have stagnated and got worse this season.

If it’s all Rafa’s fault, why can’t Lampard turn it around?

 

Rafa got more points in his last five games as Everton manager than Lampard has got in his first five.

Sir Edward Howe took time to settle and you should afford Lampard similar.

 

In theory, his form should start to pick up now. For all the talk of our January signings, Howe started at a much lower ebb, and I think our squad on paper was much worse January 1 than his is now. There's no doubting this will be a hugely important moment in his managerial career. He has to decide how much pragmatism factors into things. Is he choosing a style because he thinks it'll win or is it because he wants to do it his way. Everton have potential fall guys in Leeds and Brentford, but if it goes tits up he's relegating a big football club. They may not have achieved a great deal in the modern era, but they're a fixture of the top flight. I genuinely can't picture them in the Championship.

Another overrated manager: Pochettino.

 

 

Trippier spoke very highly of him in the TG podcast. I think he's just not the type of manager that handles big egos well.

Yes, but people talk about him almost like he's on a par with the likes of Klopp and Pep. And gets linked with the likes of Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Man Utd, etc.

 

He hasn't won much. Compare him to someone like Emery or Allegri.... :lol:

Pochettino is regarded as highly as them - he's clearly not achieved anywhere near them.

 

No one said he is failure or that he didn't do a good job at Spurs; he's just not as good as people say he is.

I think he is the same type of manager as Rafa and Klopp in the sense that he is more suitable for a working class club than Madrid or PSG. He is still young for a manager and the work he did at Spurs was outstanding. His work at Southampton is also commendable. 

 

But agree with you that his body of work as of now is not of the same level of Klopp or Rafa.
