Hendrick contributes virtually nothing but he's above the likes of Butt and Smith, whose contributions resulted in a net loss. Arguably also Colback 15/16, whose only act appeared to be to foul opposition players in dangerous areas.

He doesn’t understand quotes like ‘little bit samey’ are direct reflections on him.

 

He’s been in charge over a one and half seasons now, signed in enough players, and had enough opportunity to promote in anyone from youth team to carry his direction.

 

We’ve seen Anderson for 20mins, totally frightening he hasn’t given at least a couple of lads serious game time as a shake up and message to rest of squad he wants things doing his way.

 

Guy is a joke. Happy for 18months to let players do what they wanted, which was Rafa. Unfortunately with no direction or coaching, Rafa’s approach which squad loved turns in to this shitshow we saw against Sheff U and pretty much every game for last year.

It was his interpretation of Rafa, which was stick 11 men behind the ball and do fuck all else. He wasn't intelligent enough to understand there was far more to Rafa's set up than that.

Correct!

 

Like a lot our fans! God I miss thought idiots who were saying Bruce was doing a better job and such bollocks!

Jesus Christ that Saivet quote. Just fucking bury the lad for no reason why don't you? "Nice Guy" Steve Bruce at it again.

 

Which one,I haven't seen that?

 

Saivet must be absolutely terrible like.

 

5 Million we paid for him isnt much but fuck me. I wonder if he was totally shit in the Turkish league? You'd have to think so seeing as no team has wanted to go anywhere near him, even as a loan deal.

Yeah totally agree. He all but admitted he was going with the flow for the best part of 18months in the post match on BBC the other day. Basically he's come in, wanted to do 442 - hasn't worked, and senior players have pushed for 541 set up that was working with Rafa. He's gone for that against the big sides, and it's become the standard approach this year - and it's not uncommon for him to play wing backs anyhow.

 

Problem is he hasn't a clue how to coach a 541 low block, that's actually defensively solid, compact and can transition and get bodies forward. That being said, a fair share of blame still has to be at the players for playing like braindead cowards for the best part of a year.

 

The squad last season suited a 541, but replacing Rondon with Jokelinton was a killer.

 

Think Jones' arrival has actually cemented his 'do it my way' approach, and I'm open-minded as I can be that we won't see shut turd dished out each week as we have up to that second half against Leeds recently - and things could improve.

 

I don't think we'll go down, and see Bruce as a glorified caretaker, but what boils my p*ss is why it's taken so long. Change it end of last year going into this season, that's what pre-season/mini-pre-season after Covid break would have been for.

 

Even taking so long into this season after it was clear we were on a downward slope (even when results were coming, it was obvious it wasn't sustainable) to change it, do it his way, bring in a Jones is unforgivable. Blokes a total fraud, and embarrassment to PL/top-half Champ level management.

Seems not all his former clubs hate him. He's considered to have done alright at Sunderland and Hull.

 

Mackems hate him.

Southampton had a bad loss midweek and will have had to dust themselves down after it and get ready to go again against us. They claim to have a few out but we now learn that’s not exactly true. It’s disappointing that Ralph is lying to the press and the fans. Maybe that’s how they do it where he’s from but in England it’s just not on. We do have a few knocks but we’re in great form at the moment and the lads can’t wait to roll their sleeves up on Saturday and silence the boo boys and Facebook warriors again.

Just more big media banging on about Spurs, the attention they draw is totally disproportionate. It's really pretty boring.

 

That being said, they were dire to watch last night; no pun intended but Dire was particularly useless. Sissoko looked past it. Hjolberg only one looked half interested, even Son was totally anonymous.

 

Was thinking when I was watching Mourinho used to be able to get much more out of less-than players, and build hard ass sides in Porto and Inter - have to wonder what Mourinho is playing at.

He's bought into his own hype too much, get the feeling the clubs he's at, it's more about him than the players and they are no longer buying into it. Dele Alli might be a prick, but you can't tell me he wouldn't be having an impact even from the bench if he was getting a bit more love. The fact he wasn't allowed to rejoin Poch at PSG was telling. Spurs obviously didn't like the idea of him hitting form again under a former manager.
