DownRiver's latest activity

  • Imagine having a manager not having ‘aura’ win a league? Impossible. I know ‘aura’ is used colloquially for some who has presence, but I totally dont feel this in any of our managers since Fergie left, except maybe LVG. ‘Aura’ inspires your...
  • DownRiver replied to the thread Premier League Gameweek 30-32.
    Ofcourse Man Utd make Brentford look like prime Chelsea. How many shots did they have against us? It is embarrassing, ETH should be ashamed.
  • We won’t get these referee decisions because we have a soft and no backbone manager. Once Arteta and Klopp voice their opinion, you never see the decisions given against them again. Ten Hag is scared of a fine. Mike Dean just said the penalty...
  • If Boely had the guts to cut a successful Tucher who had recently won a CL. SJR needs to grow some balls and not wait until all the appointments come in. We are conceding far too many shots and this needs to stop, but we have a stubborn man who...
  • I don’t understand why SJR has not pulled the trigger yet? Why is that when it’s mathematically impossible to get CL for a manager to get sacked? Look at the despicable stats and tactical stubbornness from ETH. Oh how far we have fallen.
  • We moved to one game a week and we still have injuries. This means that stubborn ETH has increased training sessions to make up for this, by maintaining exertion outputs of a two game week.
  • How are people using this to aid the reasoning for ETH to stay? He sets the training and he brings in the staff. He let Martinez go out to Argentina when no other club would even think of doing such a thing. He has caused his own problems and so...
  • Yes. We will never win anything with them in the starting 11. Next question?
  • DownRiver replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    This is why INEOS are trying to put in a coaching system who work with the players selected by football brains in the club. One can sack a manager and feel confident the next coach can play a particular style from a squad that has been built on...
  • It doesn’t matter what we think. We still see the same old structural stupidity in our team where there is a hug gap between attacking and defensive lines. Also, we seem to not know how to hold a ball or pass a ball. When it is one player or two...
  • What’s your excuse now? Injuries? Nah mate. Brentford had as much centre backs pairings this season as United.
  • Liverpool will get the sporting manager. Bayern will get another manager. We will give Ten Hag another season until his contract finishes; Alonso would be ripe for the picking next season with everyone still having their first season with their...
  • DownRiver replied to the thread Jarrad Branthwaite.
    Him and Martinez are both left footed. One of them won’t be happy from the go if both are fighting for that LCB spot.
  • DownRiver replied to the thread Possession.
    It’s so funny how it goes around the team like a viral disease, even Mainoo is losing possession more often than at the start. But to be honest, our two best ball playing players are injured with Shaw and Martinez. Our recruitment does not focus...
  • That Everton game is one of the worst games I have ever seen in which any team has ever won.
