Flip Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 They'll approach laudrup imo. Good shout. Still surprised at what I consider a hasty decision though. You don't revamp your squad after selling your best player and not allow for a transition period. I've defended AVB in the past and thought he'd build a successful team after Bale. Unfortunately he hasn't done anything right, I know they need a time to settle, but his usage of Paulinho is for starters horrible, he's tried him as either a DM or as AM, not used him in his best position which is as a box-to-box player. He hasn't given Lamela any chances and Soldado has been terrible under his set up. I'm not saying it was the right decision to sack him already, but I at the same time I understand why they did it.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Just think managerial sackings have gone mad now, it's just a quick way to address low confidence or a run of bad results in the extreme short-term, without any thought for planning. I mean, six months ago they thought AVB was the right man for the job, they're only 7th in the league FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Would Baldini have been in charge of any the transfers they've made? Lamela for one seems to be a massive outlay on player AVB didn't seem to rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had started to settle down but I think the influx of this new money has put massive pressure on managers to get results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Always thought he should be given more time. His time at Chelsea seemed to have changed his tactical thinking fundamentally though and he looked to prefer the cautious approach than getting the most out of his attacking riches.

The College Dropout Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Were they expecting every signing to dominate without needing time to settle? This team could (still can) be world class next season, if Soldado and Lamela gets going, and a CB next to Verthongen. Levy Getting whooped 5-0 by your rivals in the league though. Getting hammered is one thing. Rarely looking like scoring all season is another. But yesterday the players had no heart. He looked like he had lost another dressing room.

Then he would randomly play a highline against City & L'pool with Dawson and a CM at the back. The man's tactically naive at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Pretty sure Vertonghen, Calriches and Rose are injured or else he wouldn't play Capoue and Naughton. Dawson on the other hand is just antiqued in their lineup to be a mainstay all season. The lack of heart in the players is evident though. No one gets any credit surrendering 5 goals without a fight at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Dawson is pretty much a poor mans John Terry and when you see how poor Terry has been this season that tells it's own story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Good for Spurs, not so great for us. Depends who they replace him with, and if that person is happy with the squad that's been assembled with £100m in their absence I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but Suarez in his current form is unstoppable. I agree, yesterday was inexcusable, but unfortunately these things happen from time to time with most teams, maybe more so if you are in a bad stint in a transition period. This season was bound to be a bit shaky, with a whole new squad coming in, and I think they should have given him more time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What with the pace and movement of Suarez and co. Nope. Really high line. Crap offside trap. Everyone looking clueless. A mess. Tactically naive.
