Oregon_Geordie Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 An element of risk with this guy, but from what I see he's a dedicated football thinker who obsesses every detail and cultivates teamwork and professionalism. I'd rather have a guy that has some experience of winning, (if even in Ukraine) over Howe or Lampard. He's a class act no doubt, but let's see how he works with our defence - I think we have just about enough to execute his vision... Just. Excited by the potential and attacking approach he brings.

P O S I T I V E is the 'way to be', and I have a feeling that most of us are going to feel that way about most aspects of NUFC for a very long time into the future! We have earned it.

toontownman Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Can only see this happening if the DoF has also been confirmed. Fingers crossed they have and its Campos or Rangnick. From the list suggested Fonseca seems the best even if its a bit of a gamble. He seems to have more charisma than the rest and that is just what we need. Someone likeable, someone that will play attacking football and get everyone back to being positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 We need to do both and no reason we can't. Some semblance of organization and tactics will help solidify which was the best defence outside the top 6 a few seasons ago. Maybe its too far gone but I think we will be fine. No manager coming in will be under any false pretences as to the job that needs to be done and the limitations or potential in squad we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ9 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) I mean, we’re not particularly good at attacking and too often we don’t do it cohesively/as a team so there are huge gaps to exploit. To be honest the whole idea of attack vs defence is a bit of a red herring. Part of the reason our defence is so bad is because we’re so so bad at keeping the ball and putting the opposition under pressure. We begin attacks from our own 18 yard box. We basically don’t function as a unit. Edited October 22, 2021 by alijmitchell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) I'm so confused, communication from the club, looking for a manager who isn't a doormat, useless merry go round usual. It's like we're a proper club, run by people who aren't vindictive classless slobs. Edited October 22, 2021 by Bimpy474 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s normally moments of brilliance, a counter attack or Wilson being in the right place. It’s not as though that goal on Sunday was the norm.

RS Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Actually interviewing for top managers and asking why they want to manage us rather than begging and bribing has-beens and flops to do the job. It’s like a proper club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signs would certain point to him being a shoe in, but I’m not sure it’s done and dusted just yet. (Plus I’m holding out hope for Ten Hag). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout, all the signs are there but very little stacked up on exchange to back him, £58 @ 1.74 indicates its no done deal but its still tingly knowing were this far advanced from 2 weeks ago, surreal in fact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
