Clement has said he prefers to take responsibility rather than bring in a specialist coach.

Based on what, the boy’s been shocking for months. Was refreshing when he first came in and looked to have vision to make a pass and ability to take on players but he’s offering nothing but safe passes when he plays now.

Matondo and McCausland just can’t start.

Yeah completely agree. On Clement’s previous, lost 5 out of last 7 at Monaco last season and apparently similar poor end of season runs even when winning titles.

So maybe overcooking a squad has had a role in four or five shit end of season results for Clement.

It was utterly bizarre. The type of disjointed performance you typically only see under a caretaker when a manager’s just been sacked, or under a manager where the writing’s on the wall. Shape, tactics, tempo, style of play, fitness, combinations between players all massively off it and Clement could do fuck all about it.

Mate I take it you must mean Raskin here.

Right, and agreed on investment being needed or miracle recruitment. The latter probably more likely sadly. Didn’t answer the question though.

Ridvan defensive midfield? Lawrence left wing? Sima right wing?

Wow. And people go on about the standards having disappeared. I’m not even necessarily disagreeing just think it’s wild if that’s now the consensus amongst the support compared to what the norm would be.

Never want to see Matondo again either, embarrassing how many times he’s tried the De Bruyne finish since the OF game.

Genuinely can’t bear to see Borna again, but Sterling isn’t working out at left back either.

You’ve argued for sticking with Clement irrespective of what happens in the rest of this season, and are now talking about trying to have ‘a chance to win another title in the next few years’. To be clear here, are you saying Clement could go two years without the league and still be in the job?

Pretty bizarre run he’s on.

I’m backing him for now but for a bit of balance end of season collapses are not new - lost 5 of his last 7 at Monaco last season costing them the CL place.
