Zatman Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 think Huddersfield still a banker to drop, lot of shit teams that a shock team like Leicester, Stoke or West Ham could drop think Everton will find a striker in January and stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Well he was only a stand-in manager to begin with but did so well that they gave him the permanent job so wasn't gong to take much to sack him. I think its harsh because they have had a tough start to the season and havn't played that badly. So new manager bounce again then another bad run and he gets sacked.

BOF Posted October 17, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 17, 2017 Yeah on one hand their 4 defeats have been to Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea & Liverpool, but on the other they've drawn with Huddersfield, Bournemouth & West Brom. It's hard to see where your wins are going to come from if you're not beating any of those. Add in the pressure and expectation of being a recent Premier League winner and then of having an unproven manager in charge, and what you get is a jittery owner.

At such an early stage of this season I'd say it has quite a lot of bearing. But I take your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they are unhappy with performances given money spent but I agree it's a little early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapping around trying to avoid the drop in mid table is definitely their level. Also inenacho was a bit of a gamble given that he was only a bit part player for city and had the likes of David Silva providing him with service. It's a bit different playing counter attack football with the foxes. Edited October 17, 2017 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in the pressure and expectation of being a recent Premier League winner and then of having an unproven manager in charge, and what you get is a jittery owner. He beat Stoke, West Ham, Palace and Watford in last seasons run in. They've played none of those teams yet. They've never beaten West Brom at home since moving grounds. When they won the title they only drew with West Brom at home so not sure why they should be demanding a win from that one. Huddersfield aren't easy to beat at home, they won 1-0 against Newcastle and drew 0--0 with Southampton. I genuinely think if you look at all the fixtures they've played Bournemouth away is the only one you can stay was a poor performance and result. All the other games have been very tricky fixtures. Teams like Swansea, Southampton and West Brom have all had much easier starts in that all three have only played 1 of the likely top 6 this season. You've got Huddersfield dropping like a stone and they did actually beat Brighton comfortably enough in their first home game. I think it's a harsh sacking and would've liked to have seen him get longer as to me there's little danger Leicester will go down but on the same point if they were targeting top 10 I can also understand why they decided to make an early change. In fairness Leicester board have called the previous two managerial sackings correctly when plenty were questioning both decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
