Lenny Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 A manager with any reasonable idea about the modern game would get more from this team. It’s easy to blame the players and that’s all these pundits do Despite some clear weaknesses in certain positions; there's more than enough for a competent manager to work with in the squad.

Lenny Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Imagine leaving a man up the field for a defensive set piece. The nerve of Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I’d love to see an analysis like this about 90 minutes of shelvey. Amazing how he has no concept of where to be on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 “They’ve got poor players, they’re poor defensively and poor going forward, it’s tough for Steve” He is right as I’ve said we are largely a squad of championship players, the likes of Joelinton, Almiron, Murphy etc are not decent premier league players and I would argue we don’t have a single serviceable central midfield pairing at the club. Any new manager would have a huge job on their hands still and it would still be shit to watch. And I’m the biggest Bruce hater going. New owner is the only answer as the club is a shambles top to bottom. We had world class manager given fuck all to spend and eventually walks because of it. Bruce comes in and being the spineless cunt he is goes along with spending £40+m on a player a world class manager didn't think was good enough, all the while giving it the big in the media that he's not a puppet. The state of the squad is on Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 “They’ve got poor players, they’re poor defensively and poor going forward, it’s tough for Steve” He is right as I’ve said we are largely a squad of championship players, the likes of Joelinton, Almiron, Murphy etc are not decent premier league players and I would argue we don’t have a single serviceable central midfield pairing at the club. Any new manager would have a huge job on their hands still and it would still be shit to watch. And I’m the biggest Bruce hater going. New owner is the only answer as the club is a shambles top to bottom. Yeah, I find it difficult to think of a midfield that isn't going to struggle. Our more skilful players - the Longstaffs and Shelvey - are slow and don't defend well. Hendrick and Hayden are poor in possession. Murphy tries hard, but his better role is probably wing back. Joelinton is too cumbersome for the Premiership. Almiron and ASM can make things happen, but we end up hoping for a flash of individualism rather than a good combination - which is perhaps our best bet. I had hopes that Fraser might do well, but injury and now suspension has kept him out of the picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I’d love to see an analysis like this about 90 minutes of shelvey. Amazing how he has no concept of where to be on the pitch. Watch him for the third goal. He just stands still, it’s beyond belief. He then makes a cowards run at the last minute to pretend that he is running for the team, what a dick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 It's easy to see the players as championship standard when they are so disorganised, off form and without confidence. We have enough on-pitch ability to finish a season in a comfortable season... with a competent manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'd honestly be looking to see Anderson is young enough to still moulded into a deeper lying midfielder and getting him in. Clearly got some technical ability and energy about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 We need to get some midfielders from somewhere. Our signings were vastly overstated, only Wilson makes any difference. And he’s trying to replace Rondon and Perez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Neville talking utter fucking shit. Stating the bleedin' obvious saying nowt will seriously change until there's new owners. We've known that for over a decade ffs. We're "managed" by a waddling, waffling, gasping pork scratching right now. A takeover won't happen overnight. You can bin off the cretin in charge immediately, bring in someone with a degree of competence and give yourselves a fighting chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Neville did do us a disservice there. But he was very stern and clear about us needing new ownership. Are you forgetting that he was part of the EFL owners who wanted to give the likes of Man Utd powers that would allow them to block takeovers like ours? Him saying that is like putting out your windows and saying you could with some double glazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
