Sounds like they may give Jones Palace and Chelsea, then have something sorted for the international break.

The Chelsea game has just become a lot more winnable as Lukaku and Werner are both out

Chelsea should still beat us easily even with both of them out.

 

Most teams should still tbf. :lol: Chelsea seem to struggle up here though for whatever reason. Not counting last season due to no fans, they've only won up here once in the last 9 or 10 years. Plus, if a new manager is installed by then the atmosphere will be really good.

Regarding the possession game, it can easily be coached. I appreciate some players will have more natural ability on the ball than others, but even players with Football

League ability can be taught how to keep the ball, under a decent coach.

Makes sense tbh, give the new man a fighting chance of starting with a win.

The way people go on about improving our use of the ball as if it's some mystical art form :lol:

 

Then again under Bruce it did feel like something that could never be achievable and so I can't even blame them :lol:

I'm harsh as fuck sometimes. Watched a clip of some young wonderboy Breakfast BBC had in the studio this morning and thought "he's not THAT good". Then realised he was only 4. Absolutely held the ball better than Joelinton, mind.

Another new name…

 

“Major League Soccer side San Jose Earthquakes manager Matías Almeyda has emerged as a surprise target and it’s said the English club have made an ‘enquiry’ for his availability.

The 47-year-old has so far managed River Plate, Club Atlético Banfield and Guadalajara before arriving in the MLS, but the website say Almeyda ‘would like to compete in a much more competitive league’.”

Scored for Inter here in the Champions League.

Charnley's shocked to learn you can look further afield than Felling and beyond his f*cking pitiful roladex

I said it once and I’ll say it again I don’t want no duds like Lampard and fonseca just because their agent Frank Trimboli puts out a report to the media to try and get them in. It’s a no for me on them two get in a proper manager like Martinez at Belgium

I think you were asked yesterday, but why would you take Martinez over Fonseca? Ignoring who their agent might or might not be.

This is really interesting because Lampard and Fonseca have been talked about a whole lot. Really does make me wonder if it's all agent mischief for the pair of them now.

 

In any case I do think Fonseca has a lot of really good qualities and would be a really good appointment, certainly not Lampard though, as I think he'd have a melt down if any criticism came his way and we'd be right back in the Bruce situation again.

I don't know loads about Fonseca, but reading about his style and philosophy at a high level, it sounds very much like he has similar strengths and weaknesses to Martinez. 

 

That said, I can't comment on what Fonseca's sides look like without the ball.
