mrmojorisin75 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 the parallels with pardew are insane really, he's chugging along playing an entirely unsustainable style of football being carried by defenders scoring all the goals i mean nothing could go wrong with that plan right wheels might not come off this season, but they'll come off signing players in january wouldn't even help, he clearly doesn't have a scooby how to improve our attacking game without shipping millions of goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I firmly believe that Rafa made very average players look so much better and those said players really were. They needed someone like Rafa to nurture them and bring them on. Longstaffe is a classic example, Rafa having worked with him every day for a year before he even made his debut. I kmow he's been injured but he is a shadow of the player he was. Dummett has also gone backwards and I don't see Bruce having whats needed to bring out the best of these guys. Even top players need top coaching, look at Sterling and How Pep and Arteta have transformed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even top players need top coaching, look at Sterling and How Pep and Arteta have transformed him. that's the difference between elite managers and PFM type garbage, guys like rafa will improve everything across the board...obviously a handful will not take to methods or personalities and in the main top managers will improve most of the players and performances average PFM's like bruce will improve a handful if they're lucky, some will stay about the same if they're lucky and others will collapse into oblivion i'd say we've seen improvement from shelvey so far, but i've yet to entirely buy into that, but beyond i'd say what's been noticeable is he's destroyed almiron is in the process of destroying joelinton looks like destroying sean longstaff thrown Ki in the bin completely people like hayden, clark, fede have done well under him but i'm not sure you could class any as an improvement on where they were under rafa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
