No way Tuchel is getting sacked before the World Cup unless they look like shit in qualifying.Think he is trying out players and their positions for England team.
The only way of changing the style is to change the manager. It’s not going to happen until the end of the season though.Replying to myself from November and thinking how fucking right i was and still am.
Mate the game was lost before it even started, 12 games against Arsenal, Madrid and Liverpool since the start of last season and we've lost 6 and drawn 6, he couldn't figure out how to beat them last season with Rodri , there was no way in hell he was going to beat them without him, of course it's even worse because with Rodders we at least drew those games while we are losing every single one of them now, this is the Rodri team not the Pep team and it's that simple.We were not winning today regardless but subbing on Kova and Gundo felt like conceding the game early
Keeping my fingers crossed. Worst football since Pearce classic thread is becoming less funny with every game.The only way of changing the style is to change the manager. It’s not going to happen until the end of the season though.
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit…Glad he gave Gundo a little run out towards the end. That will prove valuable experience for the lad in the future.
Marmoush first game he was whipping in some great corners and after working with our coaches for 3 weeks he’s started hitting the first man every timeI said it before but cannot say it enough.
the playing squad needs brutal rebuild, not 2 great players and we are ready to go, its 4-5 serious outgoing and 4-5 serious incoming players needed.
but impossible for Pep not to get much more help from his backroom staff. GK coach, set piece coach, Lillo I would thank their contribution and bring in new energy, impulse, momentum into the backroom staff just as the playing squad.
today our set piece coach decided Lewis to mark van Dijk in all corners. do we need this set piece coach to collect a salary? dont we actually need one to organize our offensive, defensive set pieces...
its painful to see City getting a corner and rinse and repeat doesnt beat first defenders and most often it results in a counterattack...
We have players like Doku, Haaland, Savinho and Marmoush and they are being wasted playing this utter slow SHITE
THe manager needs to buck up his ideas to match players he has or step aside.
A lack of fight in such big matches is unacceptable
If you think putting prime Rodri back into this team would turn us back into winners then you are mistaken.Mate the game was lost before it even started, 12 games against Arsenal, Madrid and Liverpool since the start of last season and we've lost 6 and drawn 6, he couldn't figure out how to beat them last season with Rodri , there was no way in hell he was going to beat them without him, of course it's even worse because with Rodders we at least drew those games while we are losing every single one of them now, this is the Rodri team not the Pep team and it's that simple.
The Rodri excuse is just a comfort blanket for some fans who refuse to see we have deep issues and a fit rodri will change absolutely nothingIf you think putting prime Rodri back into this team would turn us back into winners then you are mistaken.
The problems are much bigger than one player.
We saw it last season, we were atrocious for the 3 league games he was suspended for and lost all of them, with him we didn't lose a game, I'm not saying it's going to be the same next season or that the problems aren't far bigger but he makes a massive difference.If you think putting prime Rodri back into this team would turn us back into winners then you are mistaken.
The problems are much bigger than one player.
And any team that relies totally on one player is not a great team. And it doesn't really reflect well on the coach.If you think putting prime Rodri back into this team would turn us back into winners then you are mistaken.
The problems are much bigger than one player.
Mate I'm not saying we'll dominate again but to say he will change absolutely nothing is nonsensical.The Rodri excuse is just a comfort blanket for some fans who refuse to see we have deep issues and a fit rodri will change absolutely nothing
I'm just confused where O Reilly was, he wasn't on the bench?Does he really think Rico is better than Nunes ?
Or Rico has better future than Nico O'Reilly ?
He will adapt. Work in progressThe leopard, in this case, wont change his spots despite the prey now being able to see him from a mile away, and now we are starving.
His highline possession based approach has become easy to counter(literally) and as a result is becoming outdated..adapt or be left behind.
Shows a more rigid(defensively solid) and counter/direct approach in flashes and it worked(Chelsea and Newcastle) then reverts to his philosophy and we're shite.
