Popular Post The Specky Forum Organiser 69,420 Posted July 24 Popular Post Share Posted July 24 Whatever he's trying isn't working and he'll be gone within the next few months. But the state of the squad and our problems go a lot deeper than the manager. The real anger needs to be aimed at the board. It's absolutely criminal what they have done to this club.

Popular Post Finny 6,103 Posted July 24 Popular Post Share Posted July 24 The way he's handled players isn't looking too clever either at the moment. Cantwell, lammers in the b team. With everything else at his disposal maybe keep them around until there shifted. Conner hanging about with the squad, tav back in and no Butland, Sterling,Cortes,Lawrence etc. We are meant to be building momentum right now. It's all very bizarre.

stewaj3 1,472 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 My take is in a lot of ways this is not his fault. Inherited shite players Very little backing from the board Lost lots of players for free who should have been sold years ago for decent fees. Probably got that new manager reaction from the dross that's here and maybe that meant he thought he had more talent in the squad than he actually has. But saying all that. I've actually no clue what he's trying to do... The drop off in levels has been shocking This is exactly how it ended with gio and beale. Probably doesn't make sense to sack another manager because I think the problems go deeper. I also think even though Gerrard was far from perfect... it was clear that their was progression throughout his time in charge. It felt like the club was going places... it felt like we were going to beat celtic every time we played them. We are miles off it now and everyone at the club needs a big wake up call.

He's not clueless based on his track record. But then you see he persists with certain players and still has tav as captain and it does make you wonder. He says he likes to get the best out of players and make them better etc so are Cantwell and Lammers just beyond redemption and is that his fault or theirs.

Mediocre players on huge contracts that wont shift. Barely any money to bring in the required quality. Players who can barely see out 6 weeks without getting injured. Dessers up top. Some laugh it is. Add that to having a botched stadium upgrade that's eating into our season/funds and a vacant CEO position. Lets just pay him off now and bring in some other jobber for 6-12 months and rinse/repeat the process until the end of time.

Picking a starting 11 which shit the bed then watching it for 45 minutes knowing after 10 it was a shit show. We can't even make a string of passes together without someone giving it to the other team, press a team and can't defend worth a fuck. Other teams can with lesser squads, lesser players and lesser budgets. It's never Phils fault but Sound Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrupsleftfoot 12,207 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 There’s few words for what we just watched - his approach on how to play and win games of football looks shocking. Better players in key positions will probably bail him out domestically though, the question is if he gets them. BlueAvenger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 36,750 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 He obviously hasn’t said anything to the squad as that would be stupid but those tactics and that team are literally screaming I don’t want to be here.

stuart1994 4,532 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I thought last season might be a case of he never had the players to play how he wanted. Thought maybe with a few signings and a full pre-season we'd see a change. Very worrying so far, must've been at least 5 or 6 long balls from Kelly when we were in possession within the first twenty minutes. Absolutely no effort to try and build up and play through the thirds. Being a midfielder in this side just looks like it'll be a highly paid distance runner. To think in the past there's been a criticism that we've not went direct enough, if this is the idea of going direct get it in the fucking bin.

Under this board I have zero trust they will get in who we really need. It would be a McInnes type that would just see us just stagger from one disaster to another in the league.

An indication of where we are as a club but I think he'll be the most likely to get results domestically. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
