Dave Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I wonder if Stoke City fans are longing for the Pulis days when long throws and narrowing the pitch were key tactics in scraping together just enough 1-0 wins to stay in the league for another year.

Yorkie Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I remember when some on here used to turn their noses up at Mark Hughes. With good reason. Miserable gobshite and has a completely unmemorable record. The fact he - and any other standard manager from the PL - would be an improvement on what we have doesn't mean they're a great manager.

Dave Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Ighalo reminds me of Ba, the way he rather awkardly barges his way through defenders and scores. Wish we had a goalscorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Zabaleta was an Argentine international and Kompany was one of the highest rated young centre backs in the world at the time. No chance he would do anything when his midfield options are Colback, Anita and Tiote though, he's a run if the mill manager not far removed from Pardew or McClaren.

A good manger is one that can inspire average players to play above themselves week in week out. So we're fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Tbf I didn't really follow Garde's career before we were linked with him and didn't really get the hype about him but it is IMO unfair to put too much blame on a manager that hasn't got a pre season with a team to really put his stamp on the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 There was talk of him being 'pragmatic' (boring) when everyone was spunking over him in the summer. Thankfully didn't watch this rubbish today, but why does Mikel still play for Chelsea? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Villa fans over at VillaTalk reckon Garde is a negative coward. Haven't seen them play, they've earned as many points with Garde in 9 matches as Sherwood did in 10. Not much difference and certainly no new manager bounce whatsoever. if the owner isn't interested and their transfer policy just looks for bargains it doesn't really matter who their manager is. very similar to our club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
