A 25% win rate has him in prime PFM territory like. If he was a PFM with that record people on here would have been questioning him?

Disco Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Pretty surprised at this one given how much they've backed him by buying his type of players in the summer and again in January. Albeit a lot of the transfers seemed a bit let's just give my old clubs money. They haven't exactly been utterly shit either albeit their fans don't really like him and I reckon Everton not being a basket case against Arsenal has put the shits up the board. He'll probably go back to the Fraudesliga and do alright n all. Or could start a cleaning company. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've not won a game since November in the league That's a strange statistic to use considering there were no games played in December and only 2 in November. They've played 6 since World Cup, lost 3 and drawn 3. They've only just in the last couple of weeks made new signings who presumably were ones who would fit into the managers system (particularly Weston Mckennie). So to me it seems strange they've not given him the opportunity with a fresh sqaud and not actually being in the bottom 3 to get them to the end of the season at least.

madras Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Be interesting to see if it's a panic or whether they already have someone lined up. See Southampton with Adkins and Pochettino. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Weird decision. Thought he Marsch was ok. One point off the bottom three with a game in hand. Thought they played good enough to stay in the Prem. Most of their games were competitive and many times they were the better side despite having less resources.

toontownman Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Lasted longer than Bob Bradley. So at least there is improvement from the American coaches! I have never seen the hype with Marsch and there has been a ton of it dating back to his MLS coaching days, but he certainly had Leeds well drilled against us. Can see him replacing Berhalter pretty soon. Not sure who Leeds turn to. The promise of a Lampard/Gerrard/Bruce appointment is so appealing to everyone outside or could see a Hodgson/Allardyce interim. Seems like the type of Madness Rafa might be into.

Pixelphish Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 No strong feelings on him either way until someone called him Yank Lampard. For that I love him and hope he does well somewhere else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Don't know what more they could realistically expect from him or anybody than to be in a fighting chance of suriving a relegation battle. I quite liked him, in 'fine for them but dear god I'd hate it if he managed us' sort of way. Think primarily its about counter-acting the feared momentum of new managers elsewhere down there.

Guest Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Gerrard at Villa: P38, W12 = 31.6% Bruce at NUFC: P84, W23 = 27.4% Marsch at Leeds : P32, W8 = 25% Lampard at Everton: P38, W9 = 23.7% He's bang in that PFM sweet spot in terms of results.

Deuce Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Marsch deserves a lot of credit for taking over from Bielsa last season and keeping them up. While results don’t always tell the whole truth (11th in goals scored, 6 teams with a worse GD), fact is they’re 17th and winless since November. Results take priority over style in the PL for relegation battlers. Mystifying that he/they spent all that money (on some good players!) but didn’t see fit to replace the likes of Struijk, Cooper, and Ayling, none of whom should be starting in the PL. I do think he’s a smart guy and a good manager. With the system he wants to install, he’d benefit from an opportunity to build something from the ground up, without the threat of relegation (Leeds) or pressure to compete for Europe and silverware (Leipzig). A reclamation project in a less demanding league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Leeds were 16th when he got the gig. Leaves them in 17th place. Yank Lampard indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
