Manager of the Year

[hertsblue]

I can understand if someone like Howe win it, but how the fuck can you win the PL manager award when you finish 2nd

 

[Matt the Giant]

Really, how is he the PL manager of the year? On which basis? Measurable data says:

Winners - City
Most points - City
Most wins - City
Most goals - City
Highest possession % - City
Most passes completed - City (88,9%, Liverpool 4th)
Most away wins- City

Least goals conceded - City/Liverpool
Least losses - Liverpool (2, City 3)


So, least losses and combined least goals conceded trumps all the other stats?
And isn't it regularly stated how extremely difficult it is to win the title back to back? To come 2nd back to back might have more weight, I assume?
I would actually have had an easier time accepting Howe getting the award, for something else other than the mere performance-based facts. But Klopp outperformed Pep? Really? Why?

Yay more arse kissing from the PL.

Pep - scored 99 goals and won the league without a recognized striker
Thomas Frank - finished 13th with a newly promoted Brentford
Eddie Howe - brought Newcastle from near certain relegation to 11th

What expectations have Klopp surpassed other than winning two domestic cups on penalties?

Don’t think Pep will be bothered he’s got the biggest Prize the Premier league

Don’t think Pep will be bothered he’s got the biggest Prize the Premier league

As he shouldn't. Nor am I really, just can't understand the logic behind the decision.

 

[Skip Donoghue]

Pep won't be arsed, in fact the more they pull this shit, the more likely he is to hang around even longer at City as his point about the media etc being scouse is proven every time they do this crap

So Keep it up you thickos and galvanise Pep and his team even more, making him even more determined to rub their noses in his and City's success

Kloop has had no impact of English footballing style.

Watch him on the touchline, all he does is gurn at his players, berate the 4th official, and whoop and tub thump to the crowd.

- His subs are all like-for-like players in the same positions.
- He never strays from 4-3-3.
- Kick and rush from the quarter-backs.
- No change in tactical formations during mid-play.
- Hardly any instructions given to his individual players during the game.
- He criticised Southgate for playing Tront in midfield for England, then took the plaudits a few months later when Tront shuffled inside for a couple of games.
- A voyeur in the pre-match warm ups, whilst the last minute coaching is done by others.
- Always sniping at other coach's tactics or fans if they give his team a difficult time.

The PL coach of the year.

 

[give it to gordon]

This may not be popular but I think Eddy Howe has done a great job at Newcastle. Only been there what 5 months ?

So a team that the media tells us has all the best players - see any of the various teams of the year - comes second in the League but the coach is Manager of the year…. The irony….

 

[vmsuhail]

Joke. The cups shouldn't even come into the equation of PL Manager of the Year award. LMA okay.
