Doubt he's anywhere near the same class tbh. I remember some Melbourne Victory fans had their doubts about him for instance, and his Sint Truiden failure is still a fairly recent one. And although I imagine he must have worked on his craft, and winning the Japanese league is a huge achievement in this region I'm not sure what to expect from him. Whereas with Ange we knew he'd go there and dominate the place, primarily because he's a fecking genius.
Absolutely clueless mate.
Let’s judge the genius label at the end of the season. He’s done well at Celtic and the first portion of the season. Playing more entertaining football for spurs fans.
I agree. Plus he knew how to get a result in Europe (albeit not into CL via qualifiers).
He's done a bunch of things before that as well, but by now we know very well British watchers will never consider any of it relevant or worth acknowledging.
Who do you want as manager? I see Potter isn't keen although I don't know if that was really realistic. Maybe there's a Scottish manager who could step up?
I don't think there are any obvious candidates from the Scottish game. There are some good over-achieving managers, but the best ones in the top division have built much of their success on being organised and hard to break down. A team that needs 90+ points to win the league needs a different style of manager. On that basis I'd hope we go abroad. Need someone attack-minded, tactically flexible, with the strength of personality to handle a big club. We've probably ruled ourselves out for a few of the more promising managers by our ham-fisted approach to hiring and firing them.
He will never get the credit he deserves on here. I was laughed at for saying I wanted Ange at Chelsea before Pochettino.He's done a bunch of things before that as well, but by now we know very well British watchers will never consider any of it relevant or worth acknowledging.
But anyway, fair enough if you want to see how he fares in an elite league if I'm going to use a word like "genius". Let's see.
Decisions are all over the place. That was obviously a dive, while there was no reason to rule out the McCausland goal.
Yeah agree. That was a great goal too. He seems a player!
Awful decision by the VAR
Apparently, they're trying to say it "might" have been offside, but then showed an angle that offered no definite support for that.
I thought we absolutely bossed the whole of the 2nd half bar injury time. I watched it again this morning and stand by that assertion.
I don’t recall you creating a single chance in the second half and the statistics bear that out - Rangers having more xg in both halves, despite playing with 10 for half an hour. Where I agree is that when we went to 10 you had more control, for a while, until you lost composure towards the end.
We totally controlled the whole of the second half bar once or twice yee countered us. We dominated yee territorally without creating much, however, Turnbull missed a chance where he shot weakly straight at Butland, abada shot straight at Butland when he could have slipped o Riley in from about 12 yards out, and Maeda was 1 v1 before he got taken down for red card. Mikey Johnstone had a good chance but instead of shooting from inside the box, he passes to Turnbull who was flagged offside. To say you don't recall us creating a single chance is blue tinted specs stuff, it's a nonsense. ( We absolutely didn't need to create too much as we were 2 up inside 2 mins of second half. ) We managed the game pretty comfortably until yee scored in 88th minute. Then, the whole stadium got super nervous and it affected our players negatively whilst it affected your players positively.
