Palace and Barcelona aside.
But yeah there was a point it felt every set piece was going in against us.
My god I totally forgot about Barca. Palace was a worldie to be fairI think his managerial choices after FC Twente put him on a hiding to nothing, Derby, Newcastle and QPR have all been badly run. Although McClaren is limited as a manager he does possess key skills which in the right team make him a great asset.
Yeah it's his only blemish really.
He's clearly doing a great job so far, but the England job is hardly the only blemish on his CV. Losing to Modric's Croatia is one of the lesser ones.
He is just a really good coach and assistent but not a very good manager, although he did alright at Middlesbrough and Twente. When he helped QPR out as coach on a three month deal everybody was raving about him, when he became manager at QPR a couple of years later it didn’t work out and got sacked within the year. I think it’s great he’s back at United. In the Fergie days he was a really innovating assistent, he started with a lot of video, camera’s, analyses and data in a time that wasn’t as normal as it is now.
