Bimpy474 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 4 minutes ago, andyc35i said: Trippier is really hanging out Thiaw to dry with the way he’s been paying these last few games Aye, funnily enough i work with a lot of Tottenham fans who said Tripps was defensively terrible. Goes to Simeone and gets trained to defend in a 4-4-2, Tripps has lost that discipline now. He's back to the Tottenham version, but 10 years older and slower.

HaydnNUFC Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 1 minute ago, Kid Icarus said: I've said it before and I'll say it again, I totally agree that people shouldn't be expected to name players when someone says "who should we get then?", but that it absolutely applies to managers. Of the managers I've seen suggested they've either shown or proved nothing more than Howe has, and/or they're fantastical. If only it was as black and white as that. Had Arteta done that prior to succeeding Emery at Arsenal? Maresca to Pochettino? Andrews to Frank at Brentford? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 3 minutes ago, Cf said: Obviously. But ask yourself if Howe was in charge of Arsenal do you think they'd be 12th in the PL? If Arteta was in charge of us do you think we'd be top of the the league/CL? I'm merely pointing out they they vastly different levels of squads available to them. This isn't a controversial point But that’s not the point you made. If Howe was managing Arsenal would they be cruising to the title? If Arteta was at NUFC would we be 12th? I’m not sure would be the obvious response. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loss to Spurs, who are worse than shite, and going out the Cup next week should really see him getting his P45 before it gets really messy. Nobody wants to see that.

Maresca to Pochettino? Andrews to Frank at Brentford? Yep. I seem to remember predictions of Brentford’s demise post-Frank. Likewise Brighton post-Potter. It is almost as if excellent scouting and player acquisition is more important than coaching - and that in terms of coaching, top drawer coaches are more common than people think.

toontownman Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 20 minutes ago, Smal said: Get to the summer, let a few players leave and fix the issues with the squad. It is absolutely set up for a new coach to come in at seasons end. For the board it is down to Eddie to prove himself all over again. Get the team back into Europe or win a cup or he is gone. A side question is how long until Eddie gets tired of that scenario and walks? If he doesn't there is a fair amount of money to spend. Lots of older players out of contract and possibly more money if the manager (new or old) sells the likes of Tonali/Tino/Gordon etc. There is a huge squad makeover coming in the summer either way. Shame its a WC year to get in the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
