Yeah and it didn't work out, so do we stick with a bozo and make no changes because the previous attempt didn't work?
Now find me a post where I'm suggesting De Zerbi has his replacement.
Yeah you raise a fair point, we should just leave things as they are. ETH is doing a great job and we'll surely be in the running for top 4 by boxing day.
Even Forest and Burnley were fairly lucky.
Why not?
How is he not a problem. Then why all the players suddenly can't turn with the balland play anything but a backpass. You can see glimpses of great football these players can play when they want, but the bald guy just instruct them to shit their pants and keep the ball instead of playing any kind of football.
You mean every second post in here?
And fired them when they found out they were shit instead of giving them £400m to spend.
Which is the truth. Absolutely no one in the world can do it at the moment. A sea change is needed to get out of this mess. We're looking at years on years.
The scouting network??? Which scouting network are you talking about?? The reason why our managers have such a big say on transfers is because the recruitment/scouting team here are absolute crap.
Exactly. It's clear the club's culture is rotten.
They couldn’t even afford 20 M for Amrabat so they had to get him on loan for a year.
And his reward is to warm the bench for players who don’t
National football doesn't mean anything... No Icelandic player got a top club contract after great Euro 16 and winning England!! Even David Healy was great in national football.
By spending another 400 million to become Ajax 3.0?
We could do that, it's basically what we've done post-Fergie so far, but we'll end up in this same spiral for years constantly changing our approach.
His team selections and subs are in my opinion the only valid criticisms.
I agree. A woeful season might be for the best in the long run.
The signings he’s made have been good. We’re just having massive problems with injuries and things out of the managers control.
No, as in me suggesting De Zerbi - because the poster I replied to quote me saying at the very least De Zerbi team plays decent football. That wasn't me saying I'm De Zerbi in.
No his reward is obviously to start on Tuesday
Tbf it's also on him. He could have refused to play Ronaldo. I was a big fan but he doesn't have the balls required for this job. Not the tactical nous either.
That is more than debatable
Debatable.
Madness. Quite a few of those points will be against teams who were on the beach while we were desperately trying to get top 4.
So you play him, he gets injured and you moun?
How long have you guys watched football? Some players just take time to settle in and adjust to a new team. Making a judgment after what 2/3 months is incredibly short-sighted.
Previous attempt? You mean every attempt since SAF called it a day. As I keep saying until the ownership changes this cycle will keep repeating itself. We’ll sack Ten Hag bring in De Zerbi or whoever it doesn’t matter, starts off well players respond to his ways and everything looks rosy, we secure top 4 and it looks like we’re back on track then instead of kicking on again things go pear shaped and any progress that was made quickly unravels. Then we find ourselves in this exact same position again making the exact same posts. De Zerbi has to go, no identity, the results are terrible, we need to hire *insert new flavour of the month manager* at least he plays decent football. Rinse and repeat.
What's that got to do with anything? You used Real Madrid's interest in de Zerbi as a counter to the idea that he's a flavour-of-the-month manager, as if they're always right about such things. I mentioned two recent examples of them getting it dead wrong.
the truth is we are kinda stuck with him atleast for the moment although if im being honest i have no idea why'd we looked like bunch of strangers being put together just 30 mins before kick off every single game! that said i want him stay, nobody said the job is going to be easy.Right in because Murtough will simply wet the bed on the next manager too. Can't believe we spent circa £260m on Antony, Hoijlund, Mount and Onana when we didn't need to and they didnt even move a needle. We are fecked, he is done but Murtough and Arnold should precede him out of the door.
