At least we might score some goals.
Their win percentage is pretty similiar and I'd say they are about the same level.
I wanted McCarthy out after the Blackburn game! This isn't the penny pinching era of Morgan and Moxey though and you would have to assume that Fosun would bring in someone reputable, not stick Tony Roberts in charge because there's no one else
The question is what do you want to happen, not what you think will happen
2.42ppg? You sure about that?
We also all assumed that a forward would come in when we let Fabio go out on loan or another centre back was coming in after we let Saiss, Coady and Boly leave.
The football was dire in Bruno 1.0 tbf, but was it pragmatic approach to just pick up points? Was it him reverting back to Nunoball 343, and we can no longer do that?
Our PPG under Bruno Lage in this period obviously wasn't 2,42.
Agreed. But I'm not convinced either striker was first choice for us.
Still a bloody good PPG!!!
Absolutely, very very good!
Apart from the slight calculation error, Bruno 1 also included games vs Norwich, Palace, Brentford, Southampton, Villa (75 minutes), Brighton where we were terrible even if we got points from some of them. The difference between the two periods is that in Bruno 1 the keeper and defence were outperforming expectations, in Bruno 2 they were performing to expectations.
Bruno is toast. The situation of a year ago isn't coming back any more than my long lost youth.
I laugh at the metaphor but you're not wrong!The other aspect is that it's an everchanging situation and some processes are one way. As someone once said :" You can't un-toast toast". Basically, once players have lost belief in a manager, it doesn't come back. Once toasted, you can't get the bread back, you need a new slice of fresh bread, else you will always be a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
Yes, crucial match coming up against West Ham, you'd like to believe Bruno is working 24/7 plotting our route to victory, that he has the players fired up and the whole team is 100% united in understanding the gravity of the task ahead. The opponents are analysed, everybody knows what they are doing and can do it. But it isn't going to happen, is it? It will be the same half-soaked match approach we've seen since January, no hint of tactical masterstrokes, some pointless possession, opponents given time and space, some late and quite baffling subsitutions . If we somehow scrape a draw, it will be players personnel pride that does it. It will be despite Bruno, not because of him.
If I were to be facetious, would argue that toast is still bread...bread that has just been toasted. And ten rounds of toast still constitutes half a loaf of bread. Bread was also that lame Carla Lane sitcom from the always hilarious streets of L'pool. Sorry. It's been a long w/end.The other aspect is that it's an everchanging situation and some processes are one way. As someone once said :" You can't un-toast toast".

spending time with a couple who are er....few sandwiches short of a picnic
Think if the performance is poor on Saturday, the Fosun axe may fall.
I doubt he’ll have much time with the international players and we are routinely poor first game back after the international break. I can see us putting a lot of effort into the first 20 mins or so before running out of ideas and energy.
