Raconteur Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Would he go to Man U if they came calling Would he say no if they came calling? So absurd a notion I'm struggling to think of a comparison. Would Ruud Gullit go to Milan if they came calling? Perhaps Attilio Lombardo would think hard before going to Juventus?

Well, Palace did call on their hero Pardew to take over as manager. Let's hope Bruce will be honoured to takeover at his beloved United soon too.

buzza Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 As seen in other threads, I am in total agreement about ASM and his free role restricting him rather than adding to our attacking threat. The problem for us is that if Bruce does play him out wide he will not track back to help out the wing back. If he did, it would be a simple swap of positions between him and Almiron. Bruce is not capable of working this out, we will stay as we were on Saturday for the foreseen... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 It’s a strange one because his best game this season was against Burnley where he had a free role. I guess there’ll be games where it would be ideal for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 yes, the way he plays he should be great anywhere on the field as he can dribble past 2,3,4 players and get into dangerous positions. Just seems to work better for him out wide. My own personal ball ache is that you watch how hard Wilson presses and harries and then you see ASM doing his "contribution" and it kills me. If he could raise his defensive "effort" 50% he would be outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 That performance yesterday should be the ‘average’. If that becomes consistent then fair play. At the moment though they’re too isolated to show any signs of encouragement. If we go and do a similar job on Friday at a team and manager I really rate then I’ll start thinking about giving him a chance and think that maybe 21 years of management was just a blip and that 2 games are his new normal.

mrmojorisin75 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 not sure i can remember a manager (certainly not one of ours) that has such a knack of playing teams "at the right time" as this cunt tbh combine that with anomalies such as everton away last year, spurs away this season etc. and he'll probably keep circling the drain with us as long they keep giving him players of requisite quality history suggests this luck runs out for him but alternatively has he ever taken over a better squad and been given the likes of ASM/Wilson/Almiron/Fraser etc.? maybe he's just gonna keep chugging along forever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second half display is what we are capable of if the players can drilled into working together with a clear plan. There is more than enough pace and threat up front and from wide areas to play like that far more often. Unfortunately it only seems to click when we play certain teams, and tbf, Everton had quite a few players missing yesterday. I expect us to be out thought and outplayed against Southampton, and that will put things in a proper perspective. Although just Brucey's luck, sounds like Ings has a knee injury.

jackyboy Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Very much like Pardew for putting square pegs in round holes. Why can't they see it? If you have a couple of players who excel in certain positions then play them there and build the team around them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcelo Lippi who has won 5 league titles, a Champions League and a World cup amongst other things is the 11th worst manager of all time apparently. Five of ours made the list.
