I love the fact he still celebrates his own tackles.
There was a great tackle he made deep in the second half where he bombed over to stop a break down our left hand side and he was fist pumping before he even started getting back on his feet.
And you're welcome to disagree. It doesn't change the fact that there are a fair few people who weren't convinced by the appointment of a manager with barely any track record. We did that recently, appointing a bloke with 76 games to his name. How did that work out?
I'd also suggest that it's...
Full credit to Gary and his team for Saturday. They clearly set the team up well, and gave them the tools and the confidence they needed to see out the plan.
I'm with @WeAreTheWolvesII in hoping that this can be a fresh start. He's shown he can get a result, and against arguably the best team...
The more he speaks the more in beginning to despise him.
The only difference I can see so far between O'Neil and Saunders is that Saunders would talk daft *******s whereas O'Neil talks depressing *******s.
Also, according to the stats posted here the other day we are the second busiest in terms of combined tackles and interceptions.
It's worrying to think that we could make so many defensive actions and still give up so many chances. It suggests a real weakness in our organisation. We seem to be...
I'm only asking for a manager who can make sensible tactically adjustments. I'm m not here saying they would guarantee us a win but I think they would definitely have given us a better chance.
Let me ask you this: if someone asked you at the 55 minute mark what subs you thought would be best...
Not changing the shape, and instead making like for like changes, is the glaring error.
We were getting our **** pushed in due to a simple tactical change by Liverpool, and trying to do exactly the same thing but with slightly different people wasn't going to change that. I also disagree that...
Using your figures, 62% of goals are scored in the second half.
Of the 11 we've conceded 10 came in the second half, that's 91%. So he may be right, but we are still way underperforming the average so it goes beyond just "most goals are scored in the second half". Our goals against are...
To me, this is the most worrying trait he's showing at the minute.
I won't profess to be a great manager but even I know you don't criticise your team publicly. Any perceived mistakes it fallings are my fault, my responsibility. Then it's my job to give honest and fair feedback privately, then...
Agreed. He was great. Still completely irrelevant.
Bobby Robson was successful with those traits in a completely different age of football. A similar culture just doesn't exist anymore.
De Zerbi is the 10th longest serving manager in the league, he's about to celebrate his first anniversary in...
That's all really interesting, but it was also 50 years ago. Bobby Robson managing Ipswich also wouldn't have had to compete against teams owned by oil states, dealt with the 24/7 media cycle, used advanced video and statistical analysis, etc.
Bobby Robson was one of the greatest, but he is...
