Bruno Lage

[Stafford]

You enjoying this dross being served up each week

No tactics, no inspiring the players, nothing

Can’t select a team, can’t make the right subs half the time.

Ok get new players in. The problems may be the same he’s had all season to learn and hasn’t

He finished 8th with a **** poor hand. Style has been poor, but we haven't hit a groove yet. We aren't going to be beautiful with a damaged Neto and Jiminez.

 

[Mr Sizzle]

Feel a bit for Bruno as we absolutely screwed him (and ourselves) in the January window but performances have been dire for a long period now and there is no evidence in his CV that he can turn around a losing streak or be in charge of a big rebuild.

Really tough call to make. He could feel rightly aggrieved and let down if sacked but there isn’t a massively compelling case to keep him.

100% agree. Badly let down by the board but would you trust him to rebuild or be part of the process.. ??

 

[OsloWolf]

Ordinarily I’d agree, but watching the way we’ve played recently, and looking at his body language first half, I think he’s off.

Absolutely. May be harsh, but no one wants this nothing football for another season. We are barely watchable.

Wasn't a **** poor hand from November-February though was it. We were 4th in the form table and everybody doing their jobs and performing to standard.

Everybody in the squad has been underperforming for three months apart from maybe Sa, Jonny, Ait-Nouri, and most recently Chiquinho. Neves had three wonder games before injury but since he came back has been hiding. Podence too injury prone/refusing to play with injections. Big problems in the whole malaise IMO.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Didn't see him walking around with the players at the end of the game

 

[VancouverWolf]

Rather than getting better as the season goes on, under Bruno we’re getting worse.
How can that be?
Is there any aspect of our playing that has improved lately?

 

[Sussex Wolf]

We won’t finish 8th. Leicester won well today, have two games left, and we will get nothing but a thrashing at Anfield. If West Ham lose to Brighton we will finish 10th, otherwise it will be 9th.

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

Defensively the first half was a car crash. Forward play wasn’t any better all match. Wtf the use of Chiquinho? Played as right wing back after 15 minutes of 2nd half. He’s got to go, clueless.

 

[DasWolf]

Hasn't had the best hand to play, but isn't good enough. Will not be sad to see him go.

 

[greco wolf]

Palace can catch us too. So 11th a possibility too

9th with leicester having southampton last game.

 

[Ian C]

What’s Mick up to ATM…?

 

[Bugsy911]

Time to let him go.

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Didn't see him walking around with the players at the end of the game

Doing TV interviews apparently. He was on at the end.

 

[Loefah]

He's going to end up with just 6 more points than Nuno in what everyone agrees on here was a disastrous season last year.

There's not a single reason to keep him around outside of continuity. We should be looking for a better option.

 

[Andi130]

Hwang starting. 5 at the back against the worst team in the league, then you have an opportunity to change it taking Coads off and still don't have the bottle to push on. Not to mention the Jiminez words between the two at 65 mins-ish.....and thats just today. lets not mention the the last 15 games, hey. He's a charlaton.

Anyone else see this?

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Genuinely can't meh over what happens in the summer with him now.

Whoever is in charge needs backing. That's the only thing I know for sure.

 

[jonesy]

I still maintain you can’t fully judge him till he is backed properly and gets the players he wants. Most of those players have gone very stale since March

 

[GV Wolf]

The problem is it’s all a gamble. We stick with him, he’s gets his players in , poor start to the season and gone by November. Then a new bloke is stuck with his players and the cycle begins again.

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Bruno will not be sacked

He will only leave if he walks .. if Wolves do not back him transfer window this Summer

Without another job to go to he would be daft to walk. He doesn't have a great CV. More likely to wait for a pay-off.

I do feel sorry for him. He hasn't exactly been backed in the transfer market, and I still don't think Hwang was his choice.

On the other hand, some of his team selections have been curious to say the least, and the team lacks creativity. Football by numbers. If he does go I won't be surprised or upset.

Agreed on all of that really. The people on the pitch are the ones who play the game. The manager can tell them till he's blue in the face how to set up, but if they don't do it what can he do. Today he played with 2 at the back and they still couldn't score more than one.
Fosun have got a huge decision in the next couple of weeks.

You can only select what you have. We have no one to put the ball in the net on a regular basis.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

The team selections and tactics are solely down to him.
We play like we play because of him.

Get rid.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Jesus. Is this the tik too FIFA fan thread. He's barely been here yet. No way he's going.

If he doesn't then Jeff will likely be bloody worried about ST renewals. To quote my old late man "he'll never make a manager while he has a hole in his ass".
Absolutely crap end of season form, no style, no pattern, no clue.....

That's pretty balanced.

 

[Steampunk Rules OK]

Definitely not, wouldn’t trust him to build a sandcastle successfully let alone a PL football team - he’s not good enough and needs to go asap.

 

[Starsky]

Far too big a gamble to have him overseeing what is looking like a huge rebuild.

 

[Steampunk Rules OK]

I still maintain you can’t fully judge him till he is backed properly and gets the players he wants. Most of those players have gone very stale since March

I wouldn’t trust him to build a new team though and that’s one of the reasons he needs to go (there are many others).

 

[Rhoswolf]

More likely finish 10th

I wouldn't trust him to run a bath.

Get rid of the manager and get the bulk of a new team? I doubt Fosun would be paying for that lot.
Like i said before, Fosun have a huge decision to make in the next couple of weeks.

 

[Ian C]

I does make me wonder about the comments about us becoming stale.

He‘s the manager, isn’t it down to him to develop and invest his time in what he has? We’d all like to be picking superstars every week as a manager but you need to be able to adapt to what you have available.

He can’t even make a simple substitution when necessary, he’s just guessing his way through football.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Didn't see him walking around with the players at the end of the game

He came out....he would off had media duties to do directly after the game....

 

[Steampunk Rules OK]

WE need to give a new manager the chance to bring in his own players, that’s why Large needs to go now otherwise if we sack him after the season starts whoever takes over will be stuck with his choices until at least January. Fosun need to do something useful for a change and get rid.

 

[jonesy]

Respect your opinion but he hasn’t been given any resources to shape the team and squad this year. If he calls the players out for being **** the fair play. They have been completely **** this past 3 months.

It won't be up to you that's for sure. It'll be Fosun's choice, and we don't know what they have in mind.

 

[jonesy]

True but he got a stale squad to finish 8th this year. I hope he gets the chance

 

[NOKASPLACE]

Get rid

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

He didn't. He skipped the lap of mediocrity. It was his mediocrity that he let the players take alone.

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I'm hoping he's done, and there's something to these Lopetegui rumours.
