I've changed my tune a little in light of this bust up being confirmed. A club can't function if the players don't trust the manager. He clearly deserves more time because he's done a 7/10 job (even if our xG doesnt tally with our position), but if the players and he don't get on, there isn't much more to say. You can't get an entirely new team.
could well be what I was remembering was from season before or only part the season as those stats do show a lot of comebacks
Tool being the operative word....ones a great rock band the other is a bloke pretending to be a footballing director.
That is an interesting, no unique even, take on the incident. It is possible that you have marvellous football insight and saw something that everyone, including all of the expert pundits, missed. It is rather more likely that your theory is utter rubbish.
Utter rubbish. He made a genuine attempt to get the ball and got there just after the keeper.
If there has been a bust up virtually no outcome is positive.
I don't dislike him, l'm just not convinced by him in a head coach role. Actually you are right, my wording was inappropriate. What l should have said is that he lacks self-awareness.
I agree and none.
So there's literally no circumstance in which the outcome could be positive?
May not dislike him but definitely have an agenda.
That is a fair comment. In Nuno's early years we mixed things up, looking to play the early ball on occasion (just as Brighton did to us yesterday). It's been a long time since we did that.
Absolutely
If it isn't Lage (and l don't believe that) it sure as hell isn't Jeff if the Mix is to believed - there is no way that he'd substitute Fabio particularly in two games where he'd arguably been our best player at the time.
Reflects a lack of confidence perhaps. If Coady is the only one making himself available.....
I think he could sit in the stands and they would still pass it to him.
Of course there are some, hence my saying "virtually".
should do what Brian Clough said he would do if there was a disagreement. Sit down and have a good discussion with the player(s) and then decide to agree that he was right.
Having accused other folk of the same in the past l suppose that it was inevitable that it would happen happen to me at some point.
So "almost entirely"?
Coady’s position means he’s nearly always available. The movement from other players is poor and has got worse as our midfield and wide players so rarely attempt a threaded pass. Silva always shows but even he must get frustrated when run after run is ignored. Semedo is the worst offender, breaks down the line then stops, looks up briefly then invariably plays the ball backwards killing all the momentum he had gained.
I think Clough (and Fergie) were among the last of a dying breed.should do what Brian Clough said he would do if there was a disagreement. Sit down and have a good discussion with the player(s) and then decide to agree that he was right.
certainly the dynamics between players and managers have changed significantly in recent years ( some for the better some for the worse I guess)
There are, at least in the PL, very few managers now. They are called head coach for a reason - they just don't have the amount of control and latitude of the old time managers.
Rinse and repeat
There were tactics yesterday?
You are actually in the clear here. This was for Rhos.
Sorry. I meant that l had used the "a" word (and got your image as a result, lol) towards others so expressing views which some would not agree with was always likely to end up as it did.
